💨 Abstract

Under the Trump presidency, the use of emergency powers has significantly increased, far outpacing his predecessors. An AP analysis found that 30 of Trump's 150 executive orders invoked emergency authority. Critics argue he's using these powers to bypass Congress and advance his agenda, while the White House maintains it's necessary to address inherited issues. Legal and political debates are ongoing about the scope and limits of these emergency powers.
