Last week, President Donald Trump followed through on a threat he had been making for months. After the president of Mexico rejected paying for a wall, Trump asked Congress to do so. As my colleagues at The Wall Street Journal wrote last week: President Trump, meet Justice Jackson. President Trump's emergency declaration would be viable, though probably unsubstantiated factually, if it did not involve spending money. But by spending money not unauthorized by Congress, he has failed to uphold the Constitution, which he has sworn to preserve, protect and defend.
