This is like obama. The president writing laws when the constitution says only congress can do that.
Trump officials allow Puerto Ricans to use food stamps for hot food
oct 3 2017 The Trump administration has granted a waiver so that Puerto Ricans can use food stamp benefits to purchase prepared food in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.
In a letter dated Sept. 30 and obtained by The Hill, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said recipients of the island’s Nutritional Assistance Program (NAP) would be able to use their benefits to purchase hot food at any store through November.
Food stamp recipients are usually prohibited from buying hot foods and other items that can be eaten “in store,” such as sandwiches, soup or pizza.
A wavier is not law, it is the setting aside of a law on a temporary basis. It is the humane thing to do for a time. Beats letting victims starve to death.
Of course it's a law you fool. Trump should have gone to congress and asked them to change the law. He can't grant waivers to the law. This is just like obama and his amnesties. THINK
So! You want the Puerto Rican's to starve? Why? Because they are brown?You conservatives bitched endlessly every time that Obama signed an EO to get something done.
Now? You praise Trump everytime he signs an EO.
Which is it conservatives, do you hate EO's or not? You've been bitching that EO's are a "dictator's" way of getting around Congress, so since Trump has done so many of them, does that make Trump a dictator as well?
If he had wrote something to take shit away from people or to throw out brown people you'd be celebrating. You're just mad people are being helped.
No i wouldn't. This is a big issue with me. The constitution says "all legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a congress of the united states." That means presidents, courts, and bureaucrats cannot write laws and yet they do it all the time.
3 months without power and you'd WISH you could use YOUR foodstamps for a hot meal at KFC..
You're a real jerk. It adds NO money to the effort. AND it makes sense. That last part explains why you're against it.
The President writing an EO is the quickest way a law can be written, and if Congress or the Courts don't object, then everyone is pretty much on the same page, and the same law would likely be passed by Congress after several months.
Anyone can write a law, but only Congress can pass it to become a law..This is like obama. The president writing laws when the constitution says only congress can do that.

He's looking for more votes...Conservatives praising Trump for effectively expanding a program that wouldn't even exist if conservatives had their way.
/—-/ Geanting a waiver is not writing a law. It is temporary.This is like obama. The president writing laws when the constitution says only congress can do that.

They doesn't has stoves and pots to cook their foods, and place to clean their dishes or to stored them. He has done what is right.This is like obama. The president writing laws when the constitution says only congress can do that.

/—-/ What a stupid analogy. Try this one you big dope: You’re stopped at a red light and a cop waves you through because of an accident. He needs to make way for an ambulance. Did the cop create a new traffic law or give you a temporary waiver? THINK./—-/ Geanting a waiver is not writing a law. It is temporary.
HAHAHA. So temporary is what matters?? So if trump announced that robbing banks is legal but just for the next week, - you would be ok with that? THINK
This country has started off as a Christian nation. They know that they were in need at one time. And all of the hostile natives saw them as a threat. And so the Pilgrims were dying off from sickness and hunger that winter, because they did not know what to eat. And were afraid to leave from the area to hunt, because of the hostile natives. But a few natives had came to help them, free of charge. To show them what plants to eat and where to hunt without invading other tribes' territories. That is why Pres. Lincoln made Thanksgiving a national holiday. It was for thanking God for sending help that can speak their tongue. And to promote the general welfare means to help those to get them back on their feet as that they received help. And it is also for to help those that cannot help themselves, like the widows or the orphans. The authors of the Constitution wasn't for slavery. But they had added it into the Constitution that all men are created equals, but it wasn't the right time to explain to the people. I guess that they were afraid of the people tearing up the Constitution. And so they put it off for a later time for someone else to explain to the people..They doesn't has stoves and pots to cook their foods, and place to clean their dishes or to stored them. He has done what is right.
HAHAHA. You don't even understand the issue. It may be right but where is the legal justification for trump rewriting laws? This is like Aunt Barry when he rewrote obamacare and the press said "he's not rewriting the law, he's just tweaking it."

Ok - but that's not the issue. Trump should have gone to congress and gotten the law changed. THINK
He didn't write a law, you fucking retard. He put a temporary waiver on existing law.Of course it's a law you fool. Trump should have gone to congress and asked them to change the law. He can't grant waivers to the law. This is just like obama and his amnesties. THINK
Actually he can, under emergency powers rules, and these weather disasters most certainly count as emergencies.
You ignorant jackass. The constitution says only congress can write laws and if congress wants to transfer some of that legislative power to the president, then congress needs to go to the states and get the constitution amended.
Congress cannot amend the constitution by stature. Why can't you understand that?
Why have Congress approve some change to a law that can be abused in the future? Why muck up the law and insert loopholes to be abused, when this is a ONCE in 50 year event?
He didn't write a law, you fucking retard. He put a temporary waiver on existing law.
