@McgibbletsEsq @jadler1969 @DouthatNYT Footnote: it's not the National Emergencies Act, but a different law (10 U.S.C. § 2808). The NEA doesn't itself confer emergency powers; it is a framework statute that governs the process of invoking other statutes that create standby authorities. (There's about 125 of them.)
