What Trump’s national emergencies could mean for American democracy
June 9, 20255:00 AM ETBy Kat Lonsdorf
The United States is currently dealing with multiple emergencies at once, according to President Trump’s administration. There’s a national emergency at the southern border, an energy emergency and an economic emergency, to name a few — and the president has used these to enact some of his most wide-reaching policies, from pushing fossil fuel production to seeking to complete the border wall with Mexico and setting steep and sweeping tariffs.
While presidential use of emergency powers has been on the rise in recent administrations, Trump invoked them eight times in his first 100 days in office, more than any other modern president has done in the same period.
Does a president need to uphold the Constitution? Trump says ‘I don’t know’
Challenges to Trump’s emergency orders have yet to reach the Supreme Court, but legal experts worry his use of them could lead to an upending of the constitutional balance of power if the Supreme Court sides with the administration, essentially giving the president free rein to do more without congressional approval.
“This is pedal to the metal on executive power,” says Kim Lane Scheppele, a professor of sociology and international affairs at Princeton University who is a scholar on the use of emergency powers.
Some courts have ruled that Trump is exceeding his power, particularly in regard to tariffs, and appeals are ongoing. But Scheppele says the Trump administration expects a friendly reception if a legal challenge to the president’s emergency powers reaches the Supreme Court — and it seems likely that it will.
“The point of it is to get the case to the Supreme Court when he thinks he’s got a majority, to give him unlimited power,” she says. “I mostly study the fall of democracies in other places, and it’s through this expansion of unlimited executive power. I’m worried that’s the path we’re on.”
The White House defends Trump’s use of emergency powers.
“President Trump is rightfully enlisting his emergency powers to quickly rectify four years of failure and fix the many catastrophes he inherited from Joe Biden,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told NPR in a statement, citing border security, the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, climate regulations, inflation and trade deficits.

The Conversation: AI can scan vast numbers of social media posts during disasters to guide first responders. “In my research as an AI scientist, I’ve developed new models that go further. They can understand the meaning and context of posts – what researchers call semantics. This helps improve how accurately the system identifies people in need and classifies situational awareness […]
“By hanging a halt in this critical funding over states like a sword of Damocles, defendants impose immense harm on states, forcing them to choose between readiness for #disasters & #emergencies, on one hand, & exercising their judgment about how to best use scarce resources to investigate & prosecute crimes on the other,” the states claim in a draft of one of the complaints, reviewed Tuesday by Courthouse News.
