Under what circumstances does the Constitution allow a State of Emergency?

It appears that you don’t know and want someone to do your research for you.
“The National Emergencies Act, in its current form, lacks those protections. It allows the president to declare emergencies with nothing more than a signature on an executive order, and presidents can renew those emergencies every year ad infinitum. Congress can vote to end an emergency, but it effectively needs a veto-proof majority to do so.”
Emergency Powers
Presidents have access to a dizzying range of powers during a declared emergency. We’re working to enhance Congress’s role as a check against abuse of authority.

I'd like to know what you leftists are going to do to stop the "peaceful transfer of power" to the fascist Nazi rapist existential threat to democracy. Some that dangerous to our american way of life and democracy MUST be stopped right? You "defenders of democracy" surely wouldn't just roll over and let it happen would you? You screamed at us all the evils that will fall out from trumps election and you made going to to absolutely nothing about it?

And why are you leftists doing nothing to prevent such a danger to America and the Constitution from taking over control of the govt?
I know the answer, but trump and his supporters keep acting like there is such a provision in the Constitution.
But does that suspend the Constitution?“The National Emergencies Act, in its current form, lacks those protections. It allows the president to declare emergencies with nothing more than a signature on an executive order, and presidents can renew those emergencies every year ad infinitum.

trump was elected so I would not do anything to stop the peaceful transfer of power to him. I do however hope the Government holds and keeps him to his limited powers.
The Constitution matters whether Trump has regard for it or not, and his "emergency powers" if he invoked him would not empower him to
breach The Constitution.
No

But you dingbats have claimed for years he will destroy the Constitution and become a dictator so how will the govt possibly hold and keep him to his limited powers. You said if he takes over democracy will be destroyed. Just admit you people lied through your asses.
I did not say that. You like to pretend things to justify you lil feelings.

I am still amazed at how proud you are of being so stupid.
