As I understand it,we are already (still) in a state of national emergency. On 9/9/2011 President Obama once again extended President Bush's original 2001 declaration through September 23rd, 2012. If that's correct, the content and timing of his new executive order on National Defense Resources Preparedness is cause for even more urgent concern. Is he already empowered to implement these provisions? Does anyone know whether congress now has any power to restrict his exercise of the state of emergency provisions?

"...the national emergency with respect to the terrorist threat. Barack Obama"They should proofread these things more carefully. Obviously, someone typed a period where there should be a colon.

Is he already empowered to implement these provisions? First the new EO does not require an emergency.

Does anyone else read this as a setup to suspend elections if things aren’t looking good for Obie in the polls?
To: NECAWA
Why now?
Why the EO and now this at this time? Friday, yep. March madness, yep. Is that all?
It seems like there’s a piece missing somewhere.

We’re still under a national emergency from the flu scare 2 yrs ago. It was never rescinded.
