6 Governors Stripped Of Power Because Of Overreach During The COVID-19 Pandemic

Lawmakers in 46 states have moved to limit governors’ emergency powers wielded during the COVID-19 pandemic, arguing executives have overextended their authority.

Pennsylvania voters in May approved two amendments to the state’s constitution proposed by Republican lawmakers that sought to limit the executive power of Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf, while Republican lawmakers in Michigan voted in July to repeal the Emergency Powers Act of 1945, a law used by Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to issue widespread restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic without consulting the legislature.

The power struggles between legislatures and governors are not necessarily partisan, with the overwhelmingly-Democrat legislature in New York voting to limit Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s emergency powers in a bill passed in March.

They aren't all partisan...just mostly partisan...lol.

Crazy enough to have scared their legislatures.

Many people just need someone to blame for their problems. A governor is as good as any I suppose.

Yeah sure.

Yeah, scared them into thinking the governor might actually be successful in the fight against covid and hurt the other party in the next election. Let's be honest, that is what this is about.

Yeah sure, that's what it was.

Most of the legislatures are up Trump's ass....because all their constituents worship the orange asshole. As with most of their kind, they have no spine or sense of responsibility to public health

 

[YDB95]

Yeah sure, that's what it was.

Well, I didn't say it was only that. There is also their raw hatred of government and never wanting to see it succeed at anything.

I love how much this triggers our resident leftist.

What did they succeed at? High death rates at nursing homes. A huge number of small businesses destroyed?
Compare the states that had a chokehold put on them by their fascist governors to the states that remained free or relatively free and what have you got? Death rates that aren't all that different in a lot of cases, though the death rates for senior citizens in nursing homes in New York is appalling.
Face it, you love living under someone's thumb. I prefer freedom.

That would not apply to state legislators . . . unless, perhaps, they're Republicans.

Disease-containment measures are not Fascist, and are traditionally American. There was a time, and not really all that long ago, when any house with a typhoid patient in it was quarantined and had to display a typhoid flag. In hindsight, it's really hard to find fault with that policy.

Yes, Republicans.have now tied these governor's hands and set us all back a thousand years to praying as a solution to emergencies. I'm certain they will still blame these Governor's for anything that happens on their watch inspite of this.
