Practice question
An emergency-powers law fixes a termination date and declares the national policy to be implemented. Congress withdraws the powers by resolution before that date. May the President continue solely because the statute's date has not arrived?
- Yes, because withdrawal always requires a constitutional amendment.
- Yes, because only the President can terminate delegated powers.
- Yes, until the next presidential election.
- No, because Section 23(2) permits Congress to withdraw them sooner by resolution.
- No, because emergency powers can never be delegated.
