The entire Biden family fortune will be frozen, because working with a foreign enemy to defraud our election.

Also, I found this. Look what happens when FOREIGN assets get frozen. First this:

According to material that Bethany Kohl Hipp, “Defending Expanded Presidential Authority to Regulate Foreign Assets and Transactions,” 17 Emory Inter’l L. Rev. 1311, 1345 - 1346( 2003)(citations omitted), gleaned from Emergency Controls on International Economic Transactions: Hearing on H.R. 1560 and H.R. 2382 Before the Subcomm. On Int’l Econ. Policy & Trade, House Comm. on Int’l Relations & Markup of Trading with the Enemy Reform Legislation, 93d Cong., 1st Sess., n. 30, at 51 (1977):

Freezing, or blocking, is not taking assets; rather it is a short- or long-term deprivation of the assets or the usage thereof. Freezing does not involve a transfer of title. For example, during World War II, both German and Dutch assets held in the United States were frozen. German assets were subsequently vested in the United States—title passed from Germany or nationals thereof to the United States. The Court held that the vesting of German property was not a compensable taking because the Fifth Amendment does not apply to enemy property. Conversely, Dutch assets were never vested. The blocking, or freezing, and vesting of foreign assets have never been held to be unconstitutional.

Then the next paragraph, though, points out THIS little nugget:

Act of December 18, 1941, ch. 593, § 301, 55 Stat. 838, 839 - 841, 77th Cong., 1st Sess. The statute provided, inter alia, that “any property or interest of any foreign country or national thereof shall vest, when, as, and upon the terms, directed by the President, in such agency or person as may be designated from time to time by the President, and upon such terms and conditions as the President may prescribe such interest or property shall be held, used, administered, liquidated, sold, or otherwise dealt with in the interest of and for the benefit of the United States.” Id. at 840

Opinions welcome as to apparent discrepancy regarding whether we get to confiscate, or merely freeze all assets of China and their puppets in the US
