This is mind boggling to me.
Trump has limited power in this regard, the States have the power to open or not.
Is this about who has the authority to Allow people to go back to work? If so, my opinion is the States call their own shots...BUT they can’t have money from the Federal Government to support them staying closed and not working.
What is everyone else’s thoughts?
FT, I did not see the top statement in the twitter feed. Where did you see this?
Ok. Went and found where this was said. That lead statement above is ONLY about the emergency powers the way I’m understanding it. So yes, the President is in control of the emergency powers. The article also had the President saying he would not assert his power over the Governors. Pence did say this...
“Make no mistake about it, in the long history of this country, the authority of the president of the United States during national emergencies is unquestionably plenary,” he added.
Seems like a bunch of Drama Queen crap going on. So sick of the fighting by the media. If this were Obama, they would be licking his shoes.

Let me put some words into President Trump's mouth. He has the power to open or keep closed the --- MY words here === "federal government" --- and not the governors. The President should have clarified his statement a bit better. He does have the power over the "Federal" portion of government and federal business BUT it is the responsibility of each state governor to open or close. Wish them luck on these decisions, it is going to be a loose -loose deal.

He said he is going to release a paper outlining his legal argument, so I'll just wait to hear the details before I have an opinion.
Youve explained it well. Trump, not being a politician or a stinking attorney who has lived off the people’s wages for years doesn’t speak the lingo like other presidents have.

'Also at the briefing, the president said plans to ease the national economic shutdown were being finalized, and that he would be "authorizing governors to reopen their states to reopen as they see fit."'
OK you can put away your pitchforks for now, LOL.

among other things
if you believe that the DNC governors can legally play their political games with their citizens and disrupt the surrounding states and interfere with intercontinental traffic >>>> you need to come join the REAL WORLD and quit playing with yourself in Jackson's Fantasy Never Neverland

This all became law when FDR was implementing the new deal. I dont like it, but it's there.
Mark Levin did a segment on it last night. He doesn't like it either.
