Executive Orders - Abuses of Power?

A Presidential Executive Order, whether constitutional or not, becomes law simply by its publication in the Federal Registry. The following Executive Orders, now recorded in the Federal Register, can be put into effect at any time an emergency is declared:

These Executive Orders are in gross violation of Article 4 Section 4 of the United States Constitution. "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and, on application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislative cannot be convened), against domestic violence."

When the government can no longer be controlled by the people, there are two ways the government keeps the people in line: police power and the controlling of necessities. Stated simply: the dictatorial power of the Executive rests primarily on two Executive Orders - Executive Order 12919 and Executive Order 12407.

E. O. 12919 was signed into law by President Clinton June 3, 1994, which gathers together into one document the authority of the previously mentioned 11 Executive Orders. This means that FEMA would take over 28 Executive Departments and Agencies whenever the President of the United States declares a national emergency. This was all made possible by the 1933 War Emergency Powers Act, which authorizes the President to suspend the Constitution. There is no known Executive Order outlining the restoration of the Constitution after the national emergency has ended.

Executive Order 12407 provides the regional and local mechanisms and manpower for carrying out the provisions of E. O. 12919. Signed by President Reagan on Feb. 22, 1983, this Order sets up ten Federal Regional Councils to govern ten Federal Regions made up of the fifty States.

The 10 Federal Regions


Supplementing these ten regions, each of the States is to be divided into subregions, so that Federal Executive control is provided over every community.

The President need not wait for some emergency to occur, however. He can declare a National Emergency at any time, and freeze everything. Congress, and the States, are powerless to prevent such an Executive Dictatorship, as long as the President advises Congress in a timely matter.

By proclaiming and putting into effect Executive Order No. 12919, the President would put the United States under total Martial Law and Military Dictatorship.
