The way US President Donald Trump has used emergency powers during his tenure, no former President has done. Although Trump claims that the US under his leadership is recovering from the crisis, he resorted to rules and laws in decisions such as imposing tough import duty, deployment of soldiers along the border and bypassing environmental rules that were created for extraordinary conditions like war or national emergency just.
The analysis of the Associated Press has revealed that 30 of Trump’s 150 executive orders have been cited as emergency. This figure is significantly higher than their recent predecessors.
As a result, the President’s way of using his powers has completely changed. Trump is using emergency powers to weaken the rights of Parliament and pursue its agenda instead of facing unexpected crisis.
Ilya Somin said, “The most important thing about Trump is that the measure and expansion of the emergency powers she used is very large, which is more than the tenure of any recent president.” Ilya Somin is representing five American businesses who sued the administration and claimed that Trump’s alleged ‘Liberation Day’ fee had damaged him.
Trump the most often imposed a fee citing the 1977 ‘International Emergency Economic Powers Act’ (IEPA). This law was made to protect national security, foreign policy or economy against foreign threats.
