I don't need to google anything. I have already read up on national emergency acts and have even spoken to lawyers who specialize in constitutional law, like I said earlier.

And, as I said earlier, the President does not have the unchecked, unlimited power you're imagining he has. And, again, like I said earlier, you're ignoring the fact that the courts and Congress can step in if they believe the President is doing something illegal or unconstitutional.

The President also doesn't have unfettered control over the military. There must be an obvious need for him to call upon them. So he will have to convince them that there is indeed a cabal and that they should be tasked with rounding them up and then engaging in military tribunals and everything else associated with that.

If they think an order is unconstitutional or illegal, they are under no obligation to follow the President's orders. You seem to think that Trump just has to tell them to do something and they absolutely have to do it.

I feel like you're not even bothering to read my comments. I'm just repeating myself here.

Edited to add:

A major point I think you're missing is that the President can't simply invoke the National Emergency Act over anything he wants. While he, and we, might agree getting rid of the cabal is an emergency, that doesn't seem to be the case with the vast majority of Congress.

Congress can, indeed, undo a State of Emergency declaration.

Apparently, you've forgotten, or were never aware, that President Trump threatened to use the State of Emergency Act during his first term when he was trying to get the southern border wall built. It was in the news constantly, with legal experts discussing the chances of it being upheld in the courts, and explaining how Congress could undo his declaration if he made one.

President Trump obviously saw that his declaration would not be upheld, because he dropped the entire matter. If he thought it would work, he would have signed the declaration, and we would have our southern border wall right now, and wouldn't be having a crisis at the border.
