The House Jan. 6 committee바카라 게임 웹사이트�s investigation of the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election and the events leading up to the U.S. Capitol insurrection is raising questions about former President Donald Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트�s role and whether he committed crimes.The various schemes and talking points that witnesses have revealed also highlight what a president has the authority to do.Government and legal experts say the bigger question is: Can further limits be put on presidential authority to make sure there are no repeats of 2020 in future administrations?WHAT LAWS FORM THE BASIS FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL POWERS IN QUESTION?There are two primary ones: the Insurrection Act, first enacted in 1792, and the National Emergencies Act of 1976.The Insurrection Act is a long-standing presidential power that gives the president wide latitude to use military forces to stop a rebellion or domestic violence. The act allows the use of military forces, which are normally barred by the Posse Comitatus Act from joining in civilian law enforcement actions.Elizabeth Goitein, senior director of the liberty and national security program at the Brennan Center for Justice, said the insurrection 바카라 게임 웹사이트�in my opinion바카라 게임 웹사이트� could have been the catalyst for the president to invoke the act and bring in the military to escort congressional lawmakers out of the proceedings for their safety. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�That doesn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t mean Donald Trump would have been the president, but it would have thrown a wrench in the works," she said.Under the NEA, dozens of statutory authorities become available to any president when national emergencies are declared. They include everything from severe weather responses to civil disorder. Congress can vote to terminate the declaration, but if the president vetoes, a two-thirds supermajority is required to overcome the veto.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The statute itself doesn't say what an emergency is. It leaves it up to the president,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Chris Edelson, assistant professor of government at American University. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�That means an unscrupulous president can use it" for ill purposes. It is up to Congress to rein in the president, he said.WHAT ISSUES WERE RAISED AT THE LAST HEARING?In the most recent hearing, former White House counsel Pat Cipillone discussed a rancorous meeting in which Trump's outside legal team brought a draft executive order to seize the states바카라 게임 웹사이트� voting machines. In his testimony Cipollone said the plan was a terrible idea. It had been floated before.바카라 게임 웹사이트�You can't preemptively seize voting machines. If there was a reason to do so, you need a court order,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Edelson said.At the same meeting, there were a range of theories pushed, including invoking martial law. It was an idea Trump adviser Michael Flynn had floated before, along with seizing the voting machines.WHAT ABOUT MARTIAL LAW?Under the Insurrection Act the president can call on the military in certain circumstances, but they are intended to support civilian law enforcement. One example was the use of the military during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. Under martial law the military takes over the function of the civilian government.Martial law, said Goitein, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�gives me nightmares" because the law is unsettled. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�The whole concept of martial law, there's not even an agreed upon definition of what it is," she said.ARE THERE GUARDRAILS TO PREVENT FUTURE PRESIDENTS FROM ABUSING POWER?The House passed the Protecting Our Democracy bill last year and sent it to the Senate. The legislation would prevent presidents from pardoning themselves, strengthen reporting requirements for campaigns, and clarify and enhance criminal penalties for campaigns that accept foreign information sought or obtained for political advantage.The Senate has taken no action on the proposal. Without congressional action, the questions over presidential power and its expansiveness remain open. "The Constitution assumes that checks and balances work. If the president goes too far, Congress will rein him in,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Edelman.
