George W. Bush declared 13 emergencies and Barack Obama declared 12 — nearly all of which are still active today. Bill Clinton declared 17 national emergencies, six of which are still active. Ronald Reagan declared six and George H.W. Bush declared four — but all of those have been revoked by now.

Presidents must renew national emergencies every year because the statute lets emergencies automatically expire after one year.

Past emergencies have focused on everything from swine flu to rough diamonds.

Here’s a list of the 28 active national emergencies:
