While I agree that her example is ridiculous, there is no doubt in my mind that future Presidents will abuse a national emergency declaration.  It's why we told Harry Reid that they would regret the nuclear option on judges.  The reality here is that Congressmen/women have over the last 25 years abrogated far too much of their responsibility to legislate to the executive/judicial branches and the beauracracy.  For them it's all about not doing anything that would harm their reelection chances.  I for one wish Congress would do their jobs and that the executive and judicial branches, and especially the beaurcracy, return to their original roles.  Yeah I know, we gotta dream.......
