Trump Declares National Emergency at Southern Border to Fund Wall (2019-02-15)
Trump declares a national emergency at the southern border to redirect military construction funds to building his border wall after Congress refuses to appropriate the requested $5.7 billion. The declaration follows the longest government shutdown in US history (35 days). The House and Senate pass resolutions terminating the emergency, but Trump vetoes them. The Supreme Court ultimately allows the diversion of funds. Critics call the emergency declaration a constitutional abuse of power.
