 Pro Donald Trump is playing a very dangerous game. Maybe he thinks he is being clever taking so much power, But what happens when Democrats take charge, Eh? What then? They declare an emergency for the environment for global warming or gun violence, What then what mischief do they do then. Is that stupid wall worth destroying 200 years of constitutional limitied government, Because he has opened pandoras box, And nothing good will come of it.  Con |

Reasons for voting decision: I mean this is relatively clear from the get go because Pro doesn't fulfill his burden in showing where the abuse of power is in the constitution. Con did what he needed to do in stating that the move is in line with the president's constitutional powers which Pro has no solid response for.
billsands argues that "No one has the right to abuse authority" which I agree with, But for the fourth time, Never explains how Trump is abusing his authority. Billsands argues that "The reason given for the emergency is bogus and a buse of the intent of the founders" except it's not bogus. We need a border wall because illegal immigrants are trying to get into this country. The wall will help deter them from doing so.
