Obama Extends Presidential Emergency Powers for Another Year


It’s been more than nine years since September 11, 2001, and the U.S. government continues to operate under the provisions of the National Emergencies Act, which President George W. Bush first implemented three days after the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, DC.

Bush renewed the state of emergency every year he was in office, and now President Barack Obama has done the same thing during his first two years in the White House.
