"Let's see... Trump lost the popular vote by almost 3 million Around 72 million Americans voted for someone other than Trump Trump has the lowest approval rating of any new President Trump hit majority disapproval faster than any previous President Also, just because Trump won the election DOES NOT mean that his opponents have to simply sit down and shut up. Indeed, the incompetence that Trump is displaying only INCREASES the need for the electorate to hold him to account. For example, Trump's picking fights with the Judiciary over the suspension of his 'Travel Ban' shows that he has no understanding of the relationship between the Three Branches of Government. He seems to be blissfully unaware that Presidential Executive Orders are subject to the same CHECKS AND BALANCES as laws passed by Congress. " Here here ![]() | |||

He seems to be blissfully unaware that Presidential Executive Orders are subject to the same CHECKS AND BALANCES as laws passed by Congress. " ***CHECKS AND BALANCES as laws passed by Congress. *** The 1952 law maintained the quotas established by the Immigration Act of 1924. And, though it eliminated the racial condition for citizenship that had long held back Asians, it set the new quotas in such a way that favored Western Europeans. A key provision, however, gave the President the ability to overrule those quotas. Section 212(f), states: "Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate." . Trump's executive order must be illegal - "why"???, he is certainly not the first president to make use of Section 212(f) after 1965. In 1981, President Ronald Reagan used it to bar “any undocumented aliens arriving at the borders of the United States from the high seas," while in 1986, he used it to bar Cuban nationals, with some exceptions. In 1994, Bill Clinton used it to bar anyone in the Haitian military or government affiliated with the 1991 coup d’état that overthrew the democratically-elected president. Ten years later, George W. Bush used it to bar corrupt members of the government of Zimbabwe from entering the U.S. And in 2012, Barack Obama used it to bar hackers aiding Iran and Syria. | |||

At least with Trump people knew what they were voting for. There was a lack of information, and some mis-information, about the ramifications of Brexit. As not much has been clarified since, people are right to question this decision. | |||

Cons - 11,299,959 - 330 seats Lab - 9,344,328 - 232 seats UKIP - 3,881,129 - 1 seat Lib Dem - 2,415,888 - 8 seats SNP - 1,454,436 - 56 seats Green - 1,157,613 - 1 seat DUP - 184,260 - 8 seats Plaid Cymru - 181,694 - 3 seats Sinn Fein - 176,232 - 4 seats UUP - 114,935 - 2 seats SDLP - 99,809 - 3 seats UKIP weren't the only Party whose total number of seats failed to reflect the popular vote...The Green Party and Lib Dems also have a case for saying that they've been screwed over... Lib Dems take almost 1 million MORE votes than the SNP, but the SNP get SEVEN TIMES as many seats... The difference between the SNP and the Greens was only 300,000 votes, but the SNP get FIFTY-SIX seats to the Greens' ONE. | |||

No, Trump ISN'T the first President to exercise this power. HOWEVER, the fact remains that Presidential Executive Orders are deemed to carry THE FULL FORCE OF LAW. THEREFORE, the President is still required to exercise the powers granted him under Section 212(f) in a manner which is CONSISTENT with the US Constitution. If the JUDICIAL BRANCH find him to have misused his authority, they are empowered to VETO the President, just as they can strike down an UNCONSTITUTIONAL law passed by Congress. When Reagan, Clinton, Bush, and Obama called upon Section 212(f), they too would have been challenged in the courts, had it been believed that they were acting in an Unconstitutional manner. | |||
