What would declaring National emergency change or cause?
A national emergency unlocks powers for the U.S. Department of Energy to issue orders allowing power plants to operate at maximum capacity or bypass certain regulations
I guess it would allow him to circumvent Congress? I'm not sure.
Yep, if an emergency were declared he can move the troops in for like 60 days without congressional approval.
As a Canadian his answered felt like a threat, it's not clear what tough. Send troop to seize electricity from Canada? I know they both backed off. But that was weird and vague.
Yeah, Donny's pretty fucked in the head, but I'm betting he didn't mean just seizing electrons, he wants all of Canada.
