I just hope all this talk about Trump somehow "leaving office" doesn't happen - DAMMIT I WANT HIM TO REMAIN IN OFFICE UNTIL HE IS DECLARED THE WINNER OF THE ELECTION HE RIGHTFULLY WON. This I cannot be sure about.

Fact: FEMA has the authority to suspend the constitution when a state of emergency is declared. They are subject to NO ONE under such conditions.
Fact: The President has NO POWERS other than those given to them by the Constitution.
Fact: Pres. Trump declared a state of emergency on Jan. 11, 2021 in the District of Columbia.
You do the math.
Saved me some typing, let's goooo
If I follow your math, as long as someone remains inside the physical boudaries of DC, they are subject to the legal authority of DC, which currently is FEMA? Question: Who's the top authority in the non-emergency jurisdictions?
I'm sorry, but you are incorrect. FEMA does in fact have full authority, under the conditions in which they are put in place, to act as a full government, suspending the constitution (including due process, and EVERYTHING ELSE that is part of the constitution) for the citizens that live in the place under "emergency." Its fine if you think it SHOUDN'T be that way. I am not going to argue "should's" with you because this is not an argument of morals but of laws.
It's also fine if you don't believe me, however, I encourage you to look it up before you attempt to "FACT" me with provably false statements (with a simple search, its like, right there).
You then go on to support your argument with "well if you are right why didn't they do this, or that, or the other thing" to which I say, I don't know and I don't care. Again, this is an argument of what is law, not what is motive. Then you attempt to say "but, but Pence" to which I say, which part of suspend the constitution do you not understand? Then you say "but but Biden" to which I say, the emergency is over when FEMA says it is. Go look it up.
The important thing is, you have presented not one single argument that DIRECTLY and FACTUALLY addresses a single fact I posted.
If you wish to continue the conversation you must first do independent research on the facts I have presented, then address them directly. Otherwise I will not respond again.
Thanks for the clarification makes sense to always have a clear line of authority. Now begs the question who will that be assuming Biden is out
