There is one thing having contingency plans in case of a crisis, it is another thing to have an administration who is likely to create a crisis in order to activate those plans.

AFIAK - The USA has been in a declared “state of emergency” continuously since about 1935.

The rules may have changed in the last few years, but it used to required to be published annually in the federal register as a numbered executive order. I believe the numbering requirement was softened, but is still has to make the federal register.

I am open to correction/updating of the actual requirement. (It has been several years since I paid close attention to this topic.)

It amazes me that we allow someone that has no idea what he is doing....or maybe he does.....to come out with an EO like this. We’ve come a long way baby. We’ve gone from the most free people on the earth, the most powerful nation on earth, the most prosperous nation on earth to this. We are very close to a dictatorship by this administration and his czars. Congress needs to throw this EO out the door and make this a lame duck administration and do it now. Cut the legs out from under this guy.
