I don’t see the relevance of the Federalist Papers.

There are 136 powers available to the Executive under a national emergency, 13 of which require Congressional authorization, the balance of 123 can be invoked by the President. Here is a summary:

Here’s today hope...

POTUS calls on Paula Reid for a question.
She spouts her usual bile.
POTUS says, “I’ll answer that question right after I ask you a quick question. From what university did your husband get his degree?”

Sigh...

Hmm, this Brennan Center is very leftist, I’d like a source that is not staffed by what appear to be Demsheviks. So...I need another source about presidential powers, I do not trust leftists.

Have you looked at their staff? I’m searching now and posting a few snips, the names are not familiar to me. I think the few examples below are sufficient to cross them off the list as a reputable source of information on anything. I was wondering, “Which Brennan is this outfit named after?”, could not find that yet.

https://www.brennancenter.org/about/staff/?

Some topics:

https://www.brennancenter.org/issues/advance-constitutional-change
The Constitution was designed to change with the times, while preserving the promise of justice, equality, and liberty for all. The Brennan Center is dedicated to making sure it does just that.

The Brennan Center fights for change right now. But we also work over the longer term to shape a Constitution that’s in sync with an evolving America — a document that was designed to keep up with changes seen and unforeseen, and that provides the authority to protect and expand democracy to meet the needs of all. Our groundbreaking legal research is helping to reshape advocacy strategies on issues from free speech to equal rights for women to gun safety.

We support constitutional reforms that would eliminate the Electoral College in favor of direct election of the president by a national popular vote.

Their opinion page - 100% hardcore leftist:

Found out the outfit is named after Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan.

William Joseph Brennan Jr. (April 25, 1906 – July 24, 1997) was an American judge who served as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court from 1956 to 1990. As the seventh longest-serving justice in Supreme Court history, he was known for being a leader of the Court’s liberal wing.[3]
