This directive was established for any threat internal or external that threatens the integrity of the United States of America... And the Constitution.. either internally or externally. Prior to Directive 51, a catastrophic emergency would have been handled according to the National Emergencies Act (NEA). The NEA allowed the president to declare a state of emergency, but also gave Congress the power to "modify, rescind, or render dormant such delegated emergency authority," if it deemed that he'd acted inappropriately. However, Directive 51 effectively supersedes the NEA, through the appointment of the NCC, without any specific act of Congress authorizing the position. It also negates any requirement that the president submit to Congress a determination that a national emergency exists. Furthermore, the U.S. Constitution states that the three main branches of the federal government (executive, legislative and judicial) must be kept equal and separate, with no single branch coordinating the others. Under Directive 51, the executive branch effectively takes a leading role, coordinated by the president. This is the only way... He does not need congress.. he does not need the senate. It places the executive branch above all other branches.... He does not need the supreme court or their Fag rulings. Trump uses this power that is at his finger tips and he can cleans the evil. Alex jones has already jumped ship and said trump conceed and the video was NOT a deep fake. It definatly was. If Trump is not dead, he HAS to use this power. Alex Jones Fagd out hard had to turn his show off.. Please Trump... Let Jesus guide your hand and dont be afraid of death of the possibility of war with china... Evil must always be confronted and never submit no matter what.
