The emergency powers of the President:
1. Constitutional: vague, by implication only.
2. Extra-constitutional: whatever he can get away with. To take a somewhat extreme example, he could declare the Democrats enemies of the people for sabotaging the government, arrest the Democratic members of congress, and then rule by decree with the rump Congress as a rubber stamp.
Outlandish, I grant you. Unthinkable? Nope, one can think it. We are dealing with a leader who disdains "norms," don't forget.
