.... Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano on Monday expressed skepticism over President Trump's legal standing to declare a national emergency to direct the construction of his desired wall along the southern border.

“The president has valid emergency authorities in a time of a true emergency, but he can’t spend money and he can’t take property unless the Congress is authorized it. That’s directly from the Constitution," Napolitano told Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum on "The Story."

"Otherwise he’s bypassing the Congress and he’s not a president, he’s a prince," he added.

Napolitano cited the Supreme Court decision during the Truman administration that struck down then-President Harry Truman's efforts to nationalize the steel industry via a national emergency declaration. Several Democrats have used that precedent to raise legality concerns about Trump's threat to declare a national emergency.

The retired judge on Monday added that Trump would have to prove the country is facing a true emergency because of the state of affairs at the southern border.
