Can Trump actually declare a nationalemergency to seize control of the midterms
About this episode
The episode discusses the legal limitations on President Trump's ability to declare a national emergency to control the midterm elections.
President Trump does not have the legal or constitutional authority to declare a national emergency to seize control of or "nationalize" the midterm elections. While allies have floated a draft 17-page executive order to use national security claims (like foreign interference) to bypass existing frameworks, constitutional experts, legal scholars, and federal law dictate that such an action would be heavily blocked.
