The President of the United States has the power to sign,veto,ask ,convene,adjourn,reprieve,
pardon,receive and finally command for the best interest of the United States and its American citizens.
All presidents have had these powers, but Trump is leaning on them like a communist dictator.
The only thing happening in November is Trump winning re-election and Republicans likely taking the House. Why are you so eager for that to happen? I would think you'd be dreading that.
What planet are you living on? There's 24,000 dead from this virus and he didn't take it seriously until it was too late. Try something other than Fox News so that you make sense to rational people.
We know why the Governors want to keep the panic going... it’s not about health safety...it’s about political power..if they can stretch this until November Trump is finished and they know it....Democrats are disgusting human beings...
Trump claims that his Presidential power is "total"?
Really?
What happened to the party of limited government and federalism?
This is why I switched from Republican to Libertarian. Both Ds and Rs favor big government when it helps their voters. Time for SMALLER government, LESS spending and MORE freedom.
Indeed, then you guys can go back to screaming at the sky for a while after he wins again.
It'll give you time for a little self reflection and then you'll be all fresh to think up your next phony investigation and impeachment.
If the Dems had a decent candidate to run against Trump, Trump would be tossed out of office on his ear. But as the Dems have nominated a doddering simp we have a better than average chance of getting stuck with this walking talking asteroid strike for another 4 years. Truthfully, I haven't a prayer to offer for this country.
just like every human, sometimes he is wrong. The agreement on this among those who can actually fog a mirror is pretty universal.
Now, does the declaration of an all-states Emergency change it? I don't know but doubt it.
Not really.
He could now declare martial law and then lift martial law, but that wouldn't have any effect on existing shelter in place orders from the states. He can't order them to lift them. I can cajole, request, bribe, threaten funding and take various coercive actions but that's the limit of his authority. Had he declared martial last month maybe the states wouldn't have made individual orders or they may have anyway. I don't think that was the right course of action then but it was one he had that he could have taken. It would have resulted in a Constitutional crisis but he could have done it and then dealt with the aftermath.
