The Judicial Branch is one third of the Federal government. The federal government is defined and delegated its enumerated powers by the states through the Constitution, in Article III.
The Judiciary as a part of the federal government has no authority to expand the power of the federal government. The expansion of the federal government is authorized only through Article Five of the Constitution and requires the consent of ¾ of the states.

When Americans ask questions like “Can the president do…?” “Can the House, Senate, or Supreme Court do…?” the first sources that must be consulted are the Constitution and the people who drafted it. If the Constitution provides no authority for the activity, then the power does not Constitutionally reside in the hands the federal government. So more to the root of the question being asked, “Does the Constitution enumerate a power to the President to declare a state of emergency?

The American people don’t vote for a president in November. They actually vote to guide people whose names they will probably never know, who then elect a president in December. Discover why America’s founding generation designed this process. Find out what and who it was designed to protect.
Do you know we have hundreds of unauthorized agencies operating through the executive branch? Did you know that most of the things that presidential candidates promise to do and most of the things Americans expect the president to do are not even authorized powers of the executive in the Constitution?
Let’s begin to remedy a bloated federal government by understanding the limits placed upon the executive branch in the Constitution and WHY those limits are essential to preserving liberty.
Do you believe that the federal government is bloated and out of control? Do you believe that trillions of dollars of federal debt is immoral and ought to be illegal? Our Power of the Purse course will teach you the mechanisms the framers intended to LIMIT federal spending. You will know WHO is in control of the budget and WHY that control must never be relinquished.
This course will embolden you to demand constitutional and principled solutions from your legislators and set America back on the course of liberty and prosperity.
