“The Constitution called into existence a federal government whose powers were limited to those few powers that are enumerated in the Constitution itself (as well as the powers incidental to carrying its enumerated powers into execution). If a power is not enumerated, it cannot legally be exercised by the president, the Congress, the judiciary, or the national-security establishment. Notice something important: There is no constitutional provision that states ‘In an emergency, U.S. officials shall be vested with whatever powers they deem necessary to address the emergency.'” (09/14/26)
