RIGHT FOR US: YES THE PRESIDENT IS IN CHARGE!

THIS IS VERY SIMPLE, ALL U.S. STATES (AND TERRITORIES) HAVE REQUESTED THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THEREBY THE PRESIDENT, TO DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY, WHICH HE HAS, AND AS A COMPACT OF ALL THE STATES, AND WHEREAS THIS IS A “NATIONAL” EMERGENCY, HE IS ACTING AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF, AND IN THE CASE OF SEVERAL STATES, THEY HAVE ALSO REQUESTED HE IMPLEMENT AND USE THE DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT, A BOLD FEDERAL MOVE IN OF ITESELF. THE PRESIDENT IS ALSO CARRYING OUT THE POWERS AND AUTHORITIES VESTED BY EXISTING LEGISLATION AND LAW WITH REGARDS TO HIS AGENCIES INCLUDING THE CDC, FEMA, HOMELAND SECURITY, THE MILITARY, AND OTHERS, PROVIDING NOT ONLY NATIONALLY UNIFIED SERVICES BUT ALSO LOGISTICAL AND MATERIAL BACKUP SUPPORT TO THE STATES. IN ADDITION THE PRESIDENT IS CARRYING OUT THE FEDERALLY LEGISLATED CARES ACT AND ALL SUCH RELATED, AND IS IN CHARGE OF THE OVERALL ECONOMY, NOT TO MENTION THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY TO ACT AND HAVE ACTED ON ALL MATTERS SUCH AS TRAVEL, ALL INTERSTATE AND FOREIGN COMMERCE, BORDER ENTRY AND NON ENTRY CONTROLS, AND REALTED NATIONAL SECURITY. ALL IN ALL THE PRESIDENT HAS ADOPTED A POSITION OF WARTIME LIKE FOOTING, AND HAS DONE SO WITH THE BLESSING OF CONGRESS GENERALLY, AS WELL AS THE STATES, WITH SOME LIKE NEW YORK FOR WHICH THE GOVERNOR HAS MADE SPECIFIC STATEMENTS, ALSO PROCLAIMING AND AGREEING THAT WE AS A NATION ARE ON A WARTIME FOOTING.

YES, THE PRESIDENT WILL DECIDE FIRST AND FORMOST, AS COLLECTIVELY DESCIBED ABOVE, WHEN THE COUNTRY WILL REOPEN AGAIN, AND NO STATE OR HANDFUL OF STATES WILL TELL THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WHEN AND HOW THEY WILL DO THINGS HAVING A NATIONAL AFFECT, BUT YES THE STATES HAVE A ROLE AND A PARTNERSHIP IN ALL OF THIS AS THEY WILL THEREAFTER CARRY OUT IMPLEMENTATION PURSUANT TO STATES RIGHTS, AND WHOS METHODS WILL VARY AND TIME FRAMES WILL DIFFER.

DON’T THEY GET IT, THE PRESIDENT “IS” IN CHARGE, AND HE WILL EFFECTIVELY REMAIN SO UNTIL WE WIND DOWN FROM THIS FOOTING!

THIS IS NOT ONLY THIS SIMPLE, IT IS ALSO ALL VERY CLEAR ALBEIT IF IT IS UNPRECEDENTED WITH RESPECT TO IT BEING A PANDEMIC.
