Yeah Congress didn't tie his hands and force him to override laws (which by the acts definition should only be invoked to protect the nation against threats).

He could just add easily declare his hands tied by the 26 laws he is instead breaking. He could say the wall's completion wouldn't do anything to enhance national security (something i recall libs saying when it was trumps wall).

This is a lie, plain and simple.
