My sources are absolutely not right wing and I dont use facebook. And no, it's not politically savvy to not even wait for an act to go through the senate, it's just obviously a way to avoid the senate vote. You could've just followed the senate debates, there is no need to read minds when the debates are... you know, public?

Interesting. Were the emergency powers in effect without the confirmation of the house and senate? Is confirmation required or is there only a power to veto.?
