…lets Congress suspend the writ of habeas corpus — that is, allow government officials to imprison people without judicial review

…some legal scholars believe that the Constitution gives the president inherent emergency powers by making him commander in chief of the armed forces, or by vesting in him a broad, undefined “executive Power.”

…the president has access to emergency powers contained in 123 statutory provisions,

… the National Emergencies Act doesn’t require that the powers invoked relate to the nature of the emergency. Even if the crisis at hand is, say, a nationwide crop blight, the president may activate the law that allows the secretary of transportation to requisition any privately owned vessel at sea.

…the president can unilaterally suspend the law that bars government testing of biological and chemical agents on unwitting human subjects.
