Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review
Abstract
The note examines the challenges posed by the expansion of presidential emergency powers, particularly under the National Emergencies Act (NEA), and argues that political polarization has weakened Congress's ability to check the President's use of these powers. It advocates for reforms to balance national security needs with constitutional checks and balances, emphasizing the need to address the structural and political factors that enable presidential overreach.
