WASHINGTON — As the number of cases of coronavirus in the United States grows, President Trump could resort to declaring a national emergency. NBC News reported on Monday that the “Federal Emergency Management Agency is planning for the possibility that President Donald Trump could make an emergency declaration to bring in extra funds and personnel to assist the administration’s coronavirus response.
Others might seem less consequential to ordinary Americans, as when, five years later, Bush ordered a national emergency to place sanctions on officials in Belarus, an Eastern European nation whose leaders were undermining the democratic process.Has President Trump declared any national emergencies?Yes. Most famously, he did so when he felt that Congress was not giving him sufficient funds to build a barrier on the border with Mexico. The order, issued in February 2019, mandated that $3.
Is a coronavirus national emergency even a good idea?That’s difficult to say. As the coronavirus epidemic continues to spread across the United States and the world, it might be difficult for the Trump administration to justify the withholding of any resources, no matter how redundant they may seem. A former FEMA official for the Obama administration told NBC News he found the consideration “reassuring.
He also mentioned the tornado that devastated parts of Tennessee on Monday night as an example of where FEMA should be focusing its resources. But those powers differ from the presidential powers of a national emergency, which have more to do with funding and resource allocation. And, in any case, public health officials have not said that any kind of quarantine is necessary in the United States, though they have asked people to stay home if they are feeling ill.
