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
