Presidential Emergency Powers
(Hail to the chief)
Ladies and gentlemen , our country has endured a series of crises
Those crises have not originated with our foes
Those crises have not originated with our friends
Those crises have not been caused by acts of nature
Those crises have not been caused by acts of God
Those crises has originated right here in this office
Too many times, our answer to difficult problems is for the president to declare a state of emergency
The problems is not that this power has been abused
The real problem is that is far too easy
Who needs a public discussion of our problems and the acceptable means we have to deals with our problems
All we need is a glorious president that will take us by the hand and lead us out of this vast and confusing wasteland
Our Republic was never meant to be easy
Therefore I am declaring a state of emergency
On the basis of this emergency, I am declaring all sections of existing laws that have been used to justify presidential declarations of a state of emergency to be unconstitutional and therefor null and void
If congress believes that presidential declarations of emergency and presidential emergency powers to be essential to our republic, they should pass a relevant constitutional amendment.
If I believe that their amendment is appropriate, I will pass it along to the state's for their consideration
Until then, we'll just have to live with the inconvenience of getting our three branches of government to agree on any action
Good night and pleasant dreams
