2. He doesn't have the clout

His Oval Office disaster last night undercut Trumps plan to seize emergency powers. Idiot that he is, he could still attempt it but it will totally backfire

3. If Trump does do it, the military should get right on it.

First up, a comprehensive study of wall design and siting issues. Should be done by, oh...., 2021 or so.
