But if you’re purely using elected representatives as a proxy for the will of the people, the Dems winning the house overrode any mandate trump had to bring the Walsall
Yes
He did it again today
This isn’t a democracy, trump was elected using the republican system
So you’re withdrawing your claim that he had a mandate to build the wall?
A system that provides protections to the states and their constituents
He had a mandate by the states to build the wall
You realize that’s how the house was elected right
Yeah, and the house had a mandate to block the wall.
Nope
I blame Woodrow Wilson
Yep.
No reason, I just hate Wilson
Not a democracy libtard
In what way did the house not have a mandate?
Lol what are you talking about
It’s not up to the house
Andrew Yang 2020 Impeach orange man
That is actually true, it's a constitutional republic
Nah dude Tulsi
In the constitution it explicitly says that budget proposals have to start in the house
Because it’s the most direct expression of the will of the people
The budget was already passed and you already conceded that the president has budgetary discretion
... you misunderstood me then
The budget did not have money for the wall
Ok, let me shift gears
The courts allowed it so it was clearly appropriate
Again, no they didn’t
But he has built no wall
So he’s not in violation
It’s mid construction as we speak
Nnnnope
Where did you hear that?
And the money was cleared to be spent on the ongoing construction
There has been zero new wall constructed
You’re delusional
Lol are you serious
Do you sincerely think there has been new wall construction?
Yeah no the wall hasn't been in construction yet
