Not a spine in the whole caucus

That is incredibly alarming.People do realize if this happens then Trump will have an UNCHECKED ability to take over domestic communications, seize Americans’ bank accounts, and deploy U.S. troops to any foreign country. These are but a few powers the President has during a declared national emergency.The whole POINT of declaring a national emergency is so that the President can act quickly on behalf of congress during unforeseen events where congress can not act fast enough, such as shutting down communication facilities or drawing equipment from national defense stockpiles.EDIT: (see below), I see this is limited to the 3 EOs Trump signed to assign duties (tax/tariffs), per the tweet.

I should note the Feb 1, 2025 date at the end I suppose limits it to these 3 national emergencies that Trump declared that day, basically imposing duties (aka import tax) on Mexico, China, and maybe Canada I haven't checked yet. This somewhat limits his power to those listed in the national emergency details, I think.
