Dougie93 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Bear in mind, all Elon Musk ever did was sell his stake in a company for which he was overpaid. He's not a genius, he's not even that smart, he's a celebrity Himbo, like a Justin Trudeau. Quote

Dougie93 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Although I just assume it;s another one of his pump n' dump schemes like how he got rich in the first place, but that doesn't take a genius, you just have to con people who don't know any better, prop yourself up with the help of the fawning liberal media and be a Celebrity Himbo.

Presidents don't have "emergency powers" as they do in some other democracies. This isn't Star Wars episode II after all. We don't vote emergency powers to the president. Congress (not the president) can suspend habeas corpus, IF and ONLY IF the United States is in imminent danger of invasion or rebellion. Flip through the constitution, you'll find nothing about emergency powers like that. As I understand it, the Canadian PM usually doesn't have much "trouble" passing legislation. The parliamentary system relies on force, whereas a presidential system requires compromise. Your PM has weapons at his disposal the likes of which even Richard Nixon could only dream. Presidents do have a lot of power, but the constitution denies him the authority to actually legislate. He can propose legislation (recommend to Congress measures for their consideration). He can influence the legislative process somewhat. He can approve legislation, or even prevent it from coming into being via the veto (which Congress can override by 2/3 vote btw.) But he cannot ever, ever MAKE the law or dictate legislation. Anything he recommends to congress can come back to his desk completely changed by Congress, even when both houses are from the same party as the president. It's called separation of powers and it's done like that for a good reason. He's called the president--and not the Supreme Chancellor--for a reason. I think some of you need to do a little more research on the United States and its government. You mentioned some facts, but you don't have it quite right. Really? so it hasn't been floated that Trump could declare an Emergency and use DOD funding to get a wall built. You'd think it'd get challenged in court immediately but many seem to think that's the only way out of this issue. Quote

You seem to be a perfect example of another problem that afflicts the US; that of the smug attitude that is the US doesn't have it then it is not needed.

Don't care if you agree or not....you are wrong on many points...in this thread. Except, rather sadly, you have yet to refute any of them.
