Toward Comprehensive Reform of America’s Emergency Law RegimePatrick ThronsonJanet, Jenner & Suggs, LLC March 23, 2013 University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform, Vol. 46, No. 2 Abstract: This paper and an attached compendium attempt, for the first time since the 1970s, to reach a reasonably complete assessment of the number of national emergencies now in effect in the United States and the powers these emergencies confer on the Executive Branch. The paper also proposes specific statutory reforms to rein in the unchecked growth of these emergencies, and political reforms to subject the vast executive powers granted by the U.S. emergency law regime to the democratic process.
