authorizes the president to declare a “national emergency.” A declaration under NEA triggers emergency authorities contained in other federal statutes.
NEA Section 201 authorizes the president to declare a national emergency. The proclamation of a national emergency must be immediately transmitted to Congress and published in the Federal Register. Under NEA Section 301, statutory emergency authorities enabled by the national emergency declaration cannot be exercised until the president specifies the provisions of law under which the president or other officials will act.
Trump used the power granted him by Congress under the NEA and specified section 12302 of Title 10, United States Code and section 2808 of Title 10, United States Code.
