*J.

The True Danger of a Presidential Power Grab
*Peter Harris* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] Donald Trump’s argument is that the continued existence of unfenced expanses along the U.S.-Mexico border amounts to an existential threat to the security and perhaps even the survival of the United States. President Donald Trump’s declaration of a national emergency to fund the construction of a border wall is an affront to the democratic process and the rule of law. Presidents should not be able to pursue policies that Congress has deliberated and expressly decided against. And Trump cannot legally tell the military to divert... more »

And if his presidency ends in failure and disgrace, his former supporters will likely blame him for lacking the fortitude to extend the logic of emergency to its authoritarian conclusion. Trump made... more »

How well can we expect a new centrist party opposed to Brexit do? Survation are out of the starting blocks with something of an answer.
