Hypothetical: President executive order versus State Governors executive order

Well us Louisiana people don’t give a shite anyway...

Federalism—state orders win. The governors have more power than the POTUS in their states when it comes to things like this.

Fed gov’s current guidelines are just that—guidelines

That's the only time you'll hear the Dim's demand that "State's Rights" be respected.

So it's not up to him to get the US back in business.

You would see governors going against city officials.

See Abbott/ Lt Gov vs Harris and Dallas county officials.

states rights over government mandates

but then states are subject for paying the costs if they dont open.

you think JBE is willing to give up $50 billion in tax dollars out of his budget for paying louisiana relief to workers?

The white house will defer to the governors on this one.

See the Insurrection act of 1807. It was ratified in 2007 after Katrina to extend the Presidents power to send in military in during economic crisis.

Yes the President basically has unlimited power during an emergency and can tell the governors to STFU. Want to watch a TV show on it, see Designated Survivor episode 4, the President arrest the MI Governor for treason. It's on Netflix.

Great article here if want to really learn what Pres have used what powers during emergencies.

The President can send in troops but that doesn't mean they can do whatever they want.

No, he doesn't have unlimited power.

Most of the stay home stuff is more threats than anything, if you want to go do something.

Most of these EOs are either unlawful or unconstitutional, which is why nobody (in general) is going to go to jail... depending on the nature of the EO.

Devil is in the details. If State governments start impeding interstate commerce than there can be grounds for federal action.

What the State's do at that point is the State's business...

Yes and no, they gave power to the Federal government as to some powers, and have limited power themselves as it pertains to the US Constitution and their own charter the State Constitution.
