What sort of emergency power can Trump have? Seems sort of vague. Purse strings are still under the control of the congress. From Wiki (FWIW)

Presidential Emergency Powers
Emergency powers. The Constitution does not expressly grant the president additional powers in times of national emergency. However, many scholars think that the Framers implied these powers because the structural design of the Executive Branch enables it to act faster than the Legislative Branch.
Simply wondering what the possibilities are since other than yet another short term CR, there does not seem to be a compromise between the two parties as long as DACA is on the table.
