National emergency?

When can a President invoke a national emergency to free up billions in funding for a project that Congress, which holds the power of the purse, has refused to fund? Only at times when national security is at risk. And this is quite clearly not one of those times. Today, I joined a President’s Day rally, in front of the JFK federal building in downtown Boston, to protest a presidential over-reach that will surely be stopped by the courts in due course.
