<p>Comment: Limits of Presidential Authority
</p>
<p>
<p dir=”ltr”>
President Trump tweeted last night that “In light of the attack from the
Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT
American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily
suspend immigration into the United States!”
</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>
The executive branch at the Federal level has analogous emergency powers to
protect public health as governors have at the state level, since both
these executive emergency powers stem from the police power inherent to the
executive under our common law tradition. Emergency actions under the
police power to protect public health have traditional limits in common law
— such emergency actions need to be narrow in time and narrow in scope,
and they need to be tightly connected to demonstrable public health
concerns. Short of this, the President is not above the law, and cannot
change statutes of the United States with executive orders, including
immigration statutes.
</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>
For example, if there is a compelling public health reason to do so, the
President can suspend all international flights to the US for two weeks, or
he can forbid consular issuance of visas from specific countries with a
large number of Covid-19 cases for a month. Such emergency actions would
likely be upheld by the courts as a legitimate exercise of the police
power. Suspending immigration indefinitely likely does not pass the
constitutional or common law standards.
</p>
<p dir=”ltr”>
The President’s tweet is probably bluster aimed at exciting his
anti-immigrant base during an election year (and it is sad that that kind
of bluster appeals to some Americans). We understand that teams in the
White House are working on different versions of the executive order, and
we await the text of the executive order. If the executive order crosses
constitutional or common law boundaries, we have no doubt that the federal
courts will step in, and issue immediate restraining orders as they have
done for the President’s many other attempts to use executive power outside
of the law of the land.
