Section 1631. Declaration of national emergency by Executive order; authority; publication in Federal Register; transmittal to Congress
When the President declares a national emergency, no powers or
authorities made available by statute for use in the event of an
emergency shall be exercised unless and until the President
specifies the provisions of law under which he proposes that he, or
other officers will act. Such specification may be made either in
the declaration of a national emergency, or by one or more
contemporaneous or subsequent Executive orders published in the
Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.
