Emergency Powers

as a

Gateway

to

Suspension of the Constitution

  • During catastrophic events,

  • the government may

  • justify suspending parts of the Constitution,

  • claiming it is necessary to preserve the nation.*

  •  

  • For example:

Elections postponed: Claiming instability or logistical impossibility.

Media control: Justifying censorship to prevent panic.

Indefinite emergency status: Preventing a return to normal governance.

Power transition postponedIf a national or global emergency arises

 

  •  

The sitting administration

could invoke emergency powers.  

Perceived security threats

could lead to the suspension

of normal transition processes.

Power transition postponedIf a national or global emergency arises

before the inauguration

 

  •  

The sitting administration

could invoke emergency powers.  

Perceived security threats

could lead to the suspension

of normal transition processes.

*During a declared national emergency,

the President and key officials can exercise broad powers

under laws like the National Emergencies Act (NEA) and the Insurrection Act.

These powers could include:

Suspension of habeas corpus.

Restricting freedom of assembly or speech.

Imposing martial law.

Under the guise of COG, these powers could be used

to erode constitutional rights "temporarily,"

which might then become indefinite.
