On Monday a coalition of 16 US states led by California filed a lawsuit over President Trump's use of emergency powers. Trump declared a national emergency in an attempt to free up billions of dollars to construct a wall along the border with Mexico. By declaring an emergency, Trump set in motion a constitutional confrontation. The attorneys general of those 16 states say the president has abused his power, arguing Congress, not the President, has the authority to decide where and how money is spent. If the courts side with the states, legal scholars say the argument to impeach the president will be as strong and clear as ever.
