Here's a list of the 31 national emergencies that have been in effect for years
(Remember that the official descriptions of these "Declarations of National Emergency" have as little to do with the purpose and power of the order as does the Patriot Act have to do with Patriotism and preservation of Rights, The Affordable Care Act has to do with affordable healthcare, The USA Freedom Act has to do with U.S. Freedom. Don't be fooled by the verbiage of these declarations. Most of them are POINTED AT US.)
Also you might note that President Trump as ended all of the George H.W. Bush era Declarations of National Emergency. This first graphic is of the Standing/Open Declarations as of Trump Taking office. (President Trump's Declaration of National Emergency, vis a vis the Southern Border.)
(Remember what follows is ABC FAKE News - nothing about this list is real except the dates these Declarations of National Emergency were "Declared" and the fact that their authority still stands.)
