Fact check: Trump claims he can unilaterally reopen state economies. But what do legal experts say? “It’s complete garbage,” said a Harvard law professor. “It’s been so clearly established that the president doesn’t have any emergency powers. Period.”
As President Donald Trump faces a potential standoff with governors over who has the power to reopen state economies, constitutional experts said the president’s claim that he could do it unilaterally has no merit.
“ “When you’re talking about a public health emergency, the president has no inherent constitutional power,” ” Cuomo announced Monday a partnership with six governors in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic, from Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, a Republican, south to Delaware Gov. John Carney, a Democrat, to create a council of health and economic development experts charged with crafting plans for reopening their interconnected economies. That effort, and a similar one on the West Coast among California, Oregon and Washington state, have apparently raised the president’s ire.
For one, under the Tenth Amendment all powers not explicitly delegated to the federal government are granted to the states, including police power, or the ability to make and enforce laws related to health and public safety. Stay-at-home orders to combat the coronavirus clearly fall in that domain, she said.“The federal government can only regulate in that area if those policies are intruding on federal authority,” Goitein said.
