Legislators noting that Congress authorized the President to declare emergencies to reallocate spending fail to mention that Congress also gave itself a way to invalidate bogus emergency declarations. They aren’t off the hook. Quite the opposite, they need to say what they’ll do.

If they want to correct their prior negligence, and invalidate previous emergency declarations and replace them will real spending authorizations (or not), then have at it. Start doing their jobs.

While they're at it, they should look at reining in the President's carte blanche authority to violate our trade agreements and build tariff walls on "national security" grounds that are just as transparently spurious.
