This article is a call to action. We the people can begin working now to put limits on our governors' ability to exercise their emergency powers in the future to avoid a repeat of this current abuse of power by elected officials.
Some citizens and state lawmakers are already challenging the validity of these orders on the grounds that they violate both separation of powers principles and due process. We can take it one step further by contacting our state reps and asking them to review (and possibly revise) the laws that grant governors emergency powers to enhance or protect public safety. The powers were meant to be used temporarily but here we are in June and some governors' orders are still in effect with no oversight from the legislature which is supposed to be the lawmaking body of government.
The article outlines revisions that legislatures should consider, beginning with limiting the scope and duration of the governors' emergency powers. We can write or call our state reps to ask they they do this.

I hope that you are ABLE TO GET THE "SHEEP" IN THAT CITY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.
Read The Constitution Failure to Uphold the The Original US Constitution And Its Bill Of Rights Primarily The Original First 10 Amendments To the letter Is a full disregard of Oath Of Office Abuse of power Defrauding The American People Treason Causing unnecessary loss of human life High Treason All 54 Governors and every politician all the way though The President Are Guilty Of Failure Of Oath Of Office This Demands Removal From Office Read The US Constitution That Is The Law Of The Land
I forgot to add The Constitution having been removed is Why American Society Is Unraveling
I think we're on the same page, but I'm not sure. I'm in total agreement these orders violate the Bill of Rights and Constitution, particularly the 1st and 4th amendments. What this article is suggesting is that our legislatures have been derelict in their duty (along with some of our courts) to hold the governors accountable. From what I understand of the Emergency Powers Act (at least in my state), the governor is given authority under extraordinary circumstances to enact laws to protect the public safety. The powers were intended to be used temporarily to allow governors to deal with situations like hurricanes or flooding very quickly. I agree that everyone from the President down is responsible for this present infringement upon citizens' rights as are the people since at least in the beginning we were willing to comply for the public good.
No Politician can Break Federal law Or The US Constitution They shall not infringe alter or remove Anyone of the first Original 10 Amendments They are The Law Of The land for 265 Years This An Act of High Treason Against the American people I've Done My Relearning You should too Every one should
I agree with MRW. Our state and federal legislators and governors and the courts
all dismiss the constitution. the only one that seems to be aware of it is President Trump, making the swamp much greater then anyone expected.
House of representatives pass a bill Ordering Donald Trump To Sign The War Powers Act And Marshal Law This Was legal They used the Legal 2nd Amendment march on Richmond to accomplish this 54 Governors did what ordered! But this is where They all Broke Federal law and Violated Oath Of Office They removed the first Amendment to all Americans This Act Violates All First 10 Amendments The only time any Of these Politicians reference The US Constitution Is when it Pertains to Them and this Includes The president, Our Fore Fathers Designed and made this Law of The Land To Protect The American People From The Government! Not protect the Government From The People! 15000 plus military are going to be turned Against the The American people with in the next 1 year n1/2 Pay very close attention to the News Fox News has been the best source, And do your research Before Its gone and it is Being removed and altered Law of the land not followed or Protected American Society breaking Down now you know Why
Some state legislatures are fighting back. Pennsylvania's legislature just voted to end the Governor Wolf's orders (I honestly have no idea why it took so long). He apparently is now taking them to court claiming the Constitution gives him the right to extend his orders indefinitely. Clearly he hasn't read it, unless he's referring to the state's constitution, which doesn't supersede the nation's Constitution. New Jersey's governor admitted on Fox News he has no idea what's in the Constitution.
