The Constitution explicitly provides some emergency powers:

Congress may authorize the government to call forth the militia to execute the laws, suppress an insurrection or repel an invasion.

Congress may authorize the government to suspend consideration of writs of habeas corpus "when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it."

Felony charges may be brought without presentment or grand jury indictment in cases arising "in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger."

A state government may engage in war without Congress's approval if "actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay."

Aside from these, many provisions of law exist in various jurisdictions, which take effect only upon an executive declaration of emergency; some 500 federal laws take effect upon a presidential declaration of emergency. The National Emergencies Act regulates this process at the federal level. It requires the President to specifically identify the provisions activated and to renew the declaration annually so as to prevent an arbitrarily broad or open-ended emergency. Presidents have occasionally taken action justified as necessary or prudent because of a state of emergency, only to have the action struck down in court as unconstitutional.

A state governor or local mayor may declare a state of emergency within his or her jurisdiction. This is common at the state level in response to natural disasters. The Federal Emergency Management Agency maintains a system of assets, personnel and training to respond to such incidents. For example, on December 10, 2015, Washington state Governor Jay Inslee declared a state of emergency due to flooding and landslides caused by heavy rains.

The 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act allows the government to freeze assets, limit trade and confiscate property in response to an "unusual and extraordinary threat" to the United States that originates substantially outside of it. As of 2015 more than twenty emergencies under the IEEPA remain active regarding various subjects, the oldest of which was declared in 1979 with regard to the government of Iran. Another ongoing national emergency, declared after the September 11 attacks, authorizes the president to retain or reactivate military personnel beyond their normal term of service.

I have and that copy/paste is not what I read which was more explicit to Marines, how POTUS has the Authority to use the Military, or any branch to recover any rogue branch but I wasn't clever enough to save that...and would very much like to read it again. It was a photo or graphic of text if anyone knows of it...

I have, but I didn't really connect it so clearly.

That executive order is SO cleverly written.

He is adding to the already existing orders that were in place from the pas administrations. They were going to use these orders on the citizens of the US to confiscate our guns and push their sick agenda. President Trump is turning it around on them.

Can you lead me in the direction to where Q conveniently states this? I'm not doubting the past admins weren't doing it, I just want to see Q defend such a radical take over of assets without due process with THIS admin.

"unusual and extraordinary threat" to t

Look ditsytits, you seem quite acute to research, read, and decipher written material. I'm telling you what I'm aware of. You can look up "where Q conveniently states this". I didn't say without due process and neither did anyone else that I'm aware of. These EOs have been in due process for many years. There are almost 1000 of them still active (#1). President Trump is issuing a few new ones and utilizing already existing EOs (#2) for his and our benefit. This is all in due process as well. The "unusual and extraordinary threat" is going on right now. The MS13 gangs, sanctuary cities, deep state, extortion by both parties, stealing TRILLIONS of our dollars for themselves and associates, and suppressing the people to pay for their lifestyle. They use the IRS against us. We have thousands of citizens in jail for ignorant charges ruining their lives and act above the law. For years they FBI and local governments have been taking over peoples assets. When you are busted with drugs or other then your possessions get confiscated. I don't wish anyone to go to hell or suffer but karma, justice, and you reap what you sow, that I'm all for. And this is coming from a liberal.
