Reading — Empire by Orson Scott Card, fiction but fascinating. Relevant to this thread.

I could see the need for any President to have this power. Could it be abused? Sure, but presidents also have their finger on the nuclear button.

Which is more dangerous?

“”Corsi says the president can assume the power to direct any and all government and business activities until the emergency is declared over.” “
