DECLARED STATE OF EMERGENCY
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
the United States has been in a state
of declared "National Emergency" since 1933. Franklin Roosevelt
asked Congress for Emergency War Powers in his first Inaugural Address.
Congress quickly gave it to him and the "State of Emergency" has never
been cancelled. If this seems incredible, see the conclusions of the
Church Senate Committee in 1973 which will tell you the very same thing.
In 1995, the Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Texas
issued a formal resolution asking Congress to "repeal the state of emergency".
That didn't happen of course. Bush Jr. was recently asked by a reporter here
in Austin, if he is elected President, would he follow through on the request
by his State Party's resolution and cancel the state of emergency.
Bush Jr. appeared startled and said that he wouldn't have to abide by
any party request or platform. The "Executive Orders" in the story below,
stem from this declared "emergency".
Implementation of a Global Agenda
James L. Hirsen, J.D., Ph.D.November 17, 1999
Executive orders are presently being used at the domestic level to promote a
broad international agenda. The current administration has an unfortunate
pattern of using executive orders to circumvent the Senate ratification
process and enact individual provisions of treaties bit by bit.
The strategy of piecemeal treaty implementation has also been utilized in the
human rights arena. In December of 1998, President Clinton signed an
executive order entitled Implementation of Human Rights Treaties. The
language of the executive order seems to have been carefully chosen. It makes
the implementation of human rights "obligations" the official policy of the
United States government. No distinction was made between obligations that
were already duly ratified and those that were not.
There are a whole host of conventions that have never been approved by the
Senate that this executive order purports to implement. The danger lies in
the fact that many of the rudimentary components of so-called human rights
treaties are purposely designed to pierce privacy barriers and influence the
most intrinsically personal dimensions of our lives - the relationships
between parents and children, husbands and wives, and families and homes.
For the first time since the 1970s, Congressional hearings on the subjects of
executive orders and emergency powers were held in Congress. Remarkably,
three pieces of legislation that seek to restore constitutional integrity are
presently under consideration.
H.R. 2655 is the most comprehensive piece of legislation on this subject.
Sponsored by Representative Ron Paul, it terminates all existing states of
national emergency, removes from the executive branch any power to declare
national emergencies, denies executive orders any force of law, gives
individual citizens the right to bring lawsuits objecting to executive
orders, and repeals the 1973 War Powers Resolution.
H. Con. Res. 30 is a strongly worded resolution sponsored by Representative
Jack Metcalf. It states that any executive order, which infringes on the
power of Congress or requires the expenditure of unappropriated funds, is
advisory only and has no force or effect.
H.R. 3131 is a bill sponsored by Representative Bob Barr, which requires that
Congress be given copies of any executive order and also be allowed thirty
days to accept, reject, or modify the order.
