Legal experts say a U.S. president has limited power under the U.S. Constitution to order citizens back to their places of employment, or cities to reopen government buildings, transportation, or local businesses to reopen.

Mainly because of the Incompetence of the person Asking the question.

Ask your "Legal Experts" this question:

Can the Federal Government Criminally Prosecute Elected State Officials for Deprivinig the Citizens of their God Given Rights, enumerated in, secured by, and Protected by the US Constitution.

18 U.S. Code § 242. Deprivation of rights under color of law U.S. Code Notes prev | next Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

I remember a very long time ago reading about getting the country back up after a nuke attack. Work parties were to be organized with postal carriers being pressed to deliver the information on able bodied workers (as they knew who was alive on their route)...The power came from the FEDGOV.

I would imagine with a 50 state declaration of Emergency, great powers are awarded to the President. I mean last week they were crying that Trump was not ordering all states to close and now they complain when he says he has the power to open them. Jeez...
