One step missing.

State of emergency laws MUST BE CHANGED.

Every thirty days , OUR REPRESENTATIVES MUST DEBATE and VOTE ON ANOTHER THIRTY DAY EXTENSION to a STATE OF EMERGENCY.

After three months, the PEOPLE must vote on the continuance of a state of emergency.

The Executive Branch can no longer be trusted with the power of never ending states of emergency.

They have proven themselves to be TYRANTS.

This. Really this is how they have gotten endless cash and power to do all this damage. Absolutely we need to implement these ideas.

I think states should pass constitutional amendments that FORBID states of Emergency that allow governors to wield unaccountable power at the state and local level. Be specific about what powers they can wield in an emergency. Everything else is simply not allowed. Emergency Disasters relief for natural disaster? Maybe OK but limited to specific recovery stuff. What else?

Make it clear that if you seize other powers you immediately subject yourself to censure and impeachment.
