The Trump administration declared a 'public health' emergency in late January. What the White House announced Friday is different and far more substantial and rare.
. It's not the first time a president has used such a declaration to deal with a public health crisis, but it is rare.
"This pandemic has the potential to cause severe consequences for our country's national and economic security," the president wrote in a letter announcing the decision late Friday."It is therefore critical that we deploy all powers and authorities available to the federal government to provide needed relief."
Presidents have relied on the Stafford Act to free up funding after terrorist attacks, including the Sept. 11, 2001, and 2013 Boston Marathon attacks. The act also has been used for public health crises. President Bill Clinton declared an emergency under the Stafford Act to free up money in response to the West Nile virus in 2000, for example. Those declarations allocated millions to New York and New Jersey.
National emergencies under this act are quite common. Dozens of those emergencies declared by presidents remain in effect, often to freeze assets and impose other sanctions on foreign governments.No problem. Trump alone has signed several emergencies into law. For instance, he signed an executive order in 2018 that gave him power to slap sanctions on any foreign country that interferes in a U.S. election.
