TechFlame reports that, according to the Wall Street Journal, since the beginning of his second term, US President Trump announced in dozens of presidential documents that the US is facing an emergency and requires him to take special action to bypass normal government procedures. This strategy provided him with a path of unilateral action rather than an uncertain route of legislating through Congress. But these moves have led to numerous lawsuits. On Thursday, Trump's use of tariffs to resolve a range of commercial, political, and diplomatic issues he called an emergency will be tried in a federal appeals court in Washington. The case is expected to eventually go to the Supreme Court; legal experts say if Trump wins, he may seek broad unilateral powers to regulate the economy. University of Chicago law professor Samuel Bray said that almost all presidents are actively using executive power, but Trump “has gone further than other presidents in declaring a state of emergency.”
