I wonder, if trump declares an emergency for his wall, whether the next president could declare an emergency and legalize all drugs.

  No, the declaration of emergency is used to free up funds not change the law.

    True, but could the same result not be achieved by an even easier to justify executive action?
    • chewbacha 8y ago
      Executive orders can’t change law or allocate money though. Both of those responsibilities reside with congress.

  Funnily; one of the ways to "make Mexico pay" for the wall would be by legalizing U.S. owned and grown marijuana, and using a tax to pay for the wall. It's only coming from Mexico in the sense of an untracked trade deficit, but a little pr could do it. This also puts the stereotyped rural, underemployed, farmer back in a lucrative industry. Provides a solution for the Opioid epidemic. Lowers the cost of healthcare.
