And the other thing you miss is that this fake emergency is not a real emergency as prior presidents have used. This is clear overreach, and sets a dangerous precedence for a future president to do even worse. One should not simply take this one event today as a single event. When you listen to his rhetoric since he started his run, and while in office, all of it is intended to undermine checks on his power. He is literally talking like a Mafia boss. That is the way you talk when someone tries to question you when you know you are doing something wrong.
Missing something and not stating the obvious isn't the same thing. It's a fake emergency? Wow, not much gets past you.
Again, saying congress can vacate it, while true, would depend upon enough of the House and Senate to want to do such, and considering it takes both chambers to pass a bill, and knowing the Senate is still a majority GOP, I doubt that would work. The only way he goes down on this right now are the courts. And considering the current makeup of the SCOTUS, there is one thing he was right about in his vile bigoted rambling today, the lower courts are likely to say no to him, but the SCOTUS is a different story.
