Coronavirus Pandemic: Trump Asserts ‘Total’ Power to Lift Lockdown

Donald Trump, going against the governors and legal experts, has asserted ‘total’ authority to lift the nationwide lockdown owing to the Coronavirus Pandemic. “The President of the United States calls the shots,” said Mr. Trump arguing with reporters during a combative press conference. Contrary to that the U.S. Constitution proposes the states to maintain public safety and order.

Acknowledging the fact that the United States has become the global epicenter of the Coronavirus pandemic with 587,815 confirmed cases and 23,654 people have been died, ten states on the U.S. East and West coasts are developing their plans to lift their firm stay-at-home instructions. What did Mr. Trump say? Mr. Trump, addressing the daily White House Coronavirus pandemic briefing on Monday, unfolded that his admin was planning to reopen the U.S. economy, which, to avoid the spread of the Coronavirus, has been largely shut down. Hence, 1 May has been projected as a potential date for giving an ease on the part of the restrictions by the Trump admin. The contemporary White House recommendations for Americans to avoid non-essential traveling, restaurants and keeping in-person gatherings are going to expire on 30 April.

Whereas when journalists asked Mr. Trump that whether he possessed the authority to overrule stay-at-home instructions imposed on state-by-state basis, he uncovered, “When somebody is the president of the United States, the authority is total. It’s total. The governors know that”. He added further, “That being said, we are going to work with the states”. ‘Numerous provisions’ in the U.S. founding charter give him such authority was what Mr. Trump insisted without mentioning which ones. Conversely, legal experts states that the president does not possess the power to override a public health orders put in place at the local or state level. On the query of Jon Sopel – BBC’s representative – if he was concerned regarding the likelihood of having to shut down the economy again if it is struck by a second wave of Coronavirus, The President replied, “It does weigh on my mind”. Indicating that social distancing measures had proved successful, Mr. Trump told the reporters that the number of deaths caused by the COVID-19 in the U.S. had started declining.
