Not to hijack this into a Civil War thread, but this is exactly what A. Lincoln did in 1861. And quite rightly too.
There was an emergency, and Congress could not be reassembled in time to address the situation.
When in an emergency, it is entirely right and proper for the executive authority to take emergency action.
...not if that “executive authority” hates the U.S. & is the enemy within. Wise up.
But this executive will CREATE the emergency...
