I look at it, and again, I'm not a lawyer, but I look at the 1976 act in which Congress gave the President the power to declare a national emergency. It's happened almost 60 times since then. This is the first [national emergency declaration] that's ever been challenged on constitutional grounds. It's also, though, the first time Congress has voted to override a declaration. But I think, I think the courts tend to be pretty careful. (08:50–08:55)
