  1. Is it accurate that presidents have chronically abused the power to declare a "national emergency," @DouthatNYT? Which specific historical example or examples are you referring to?

      (& what's the definition of "abuse" for that pattern whose existence I'm challenging? A bad-faith claim that an "emergency" exists, to achieve a policy goal Congress had specifically weighed and rejected?)
