    Pence trying carefully to avoid either endorsing or contradicting this. Of course, POTUS does have nearly total authority *within the powers delegated to the executive branch,* but those powers are limited. He can't just overawe the states or Congress, even in an emergency.https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/1249837138126032898 …

    Dan McLaughlin added,

    Pence is asked if he agrees with Trump's understanding of federalism, specifically that his power is "total" here. Pence says, "I support the president's leadership under the national emergency declaration that he signed."

        Really, so does Pence think he has absolute power or not?

        Dan: A hypothetical question for you: If a state utterly failed to protect its citizens from a health problem (e.g., refused to do any mitigation) what recourse would the president have?

        This seems like an endorsement alashttps://twitter.com/ddale8/status/1249837435921498112 …

        Pence then adds when pressed: "Make no mistake about it," in this country's long history, the president's powers in an emergency are "unquestionably plenary."

        True. But remember a week ago the same press corps was hammering Trump for not using his equally nonexistent authority to order a nationwide stay-in-place order.
