That's not exactly a big deal. That " national emergency" language is language that needs to invoked for a president to execute economic sanctions. There are current national emergencies dating back to the 1990s
I believe it puts in place the ability to do much more than economic sanctions. I have seen analysis but don’t remember the details. PEADS? Insurrection Act? But I think you’re minimizing what it does, especially considering the fact that Biden extended it- to keep it in place still. Why extend it if it isn’t a big deal?
The Insurrection Act has been around for 200+ years. It's very different from executive orders implementing sanctions
But read the executive order
On September 12, 2018, by Executive Order 13848, the President declared a national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The national emergency is "pursuant to" the IEEPA meaning it has to follow the terms of that law. That law is from the 1970s and that is gives the President the power to sanction someone. The first step to sanctions is you have to state the reason why. That's why a national emergency is called. There's like 30+ declared national emergencies that are active right now. None of them give the president the president the chance to declare an Insurrection. This is why I say it's not a big deal. If this was the mechanism to remove Biden from office, do you think he would renew it
We are in a National state of emergency. Read Trump’s Executive order 13848. Biden even extended it!
