The nation is still under a "Declared National Emergency". POTUS should adjourn congress and then drop the Hammer on all. Under Article II Section 3:
"he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper";
I would define a "National Emergency" an "Extraordinary Occasion".
