New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has rebuked President Trump’s claims that he has blanket authority to order a reopening of the country.


Perhaps Cuomo is correct on this. However the President does have the authority to end the emergency which gave the states (and cities) the perceived power to force house arrest on their citizens, as well as cut off emergency funds.

Add to that the fact the people are growing tired of all this and may began mass civil disobedience.

Cuomo is playing a game where no one knows the rules and only time will tell which hand is the winner and which is the loser.

President Trump knows the rules and the power and authority that come with the national/state emergency declarations...as Mike Pence stated yesterday - the circumstances endow the President with plenary powers and authority...but he is loath to wield them w/o proper cause because of his own sense of moral responsibility and love of the Constitution...they howled for him to wield the powers of the defense Production Act and now think that they are exempt...

Yes, he is.

Play a stupid game. Win a stupid prize.
