Once an emergency has emerged it is no longer an emergency but a problem or condition. We had a self-appointed emperor (fuhrer) in Washington State for almost 1000 days. Egregious! I understand that there may not be time for a lot of process during an actual emergency but we need time limits at the very least. In our state adding an emergency clause to legislation changes the rules and is being abused by our "leaders". This is part of why our exit is being seriously considered.
A start would be taking the authority to declare a state of emergency away from any one individual. Should be voted upon by some faction of congress?
