“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.” 1 Corinthians 16:13 (ESV).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
President Trump has announced his intention to invoke the power allocated to him by Congress pursuant to the National Emergencies Act of 1976 to declare a National Emergency on our southern border and reallocate appropriated money to erect a southern border wall.
According to the Federal Register, 58 national emergencies have been declared sine the statute was passed in 1976 focusing on everything from swine flu to rough diamonds.
In his announcement, President Trump explained Congress’ refusal to fund the border wall forced him to do whatever he can legally to protect the American people and keep his campaign promise.
