That sounds very good, except for four ominous words in the article: "declares a national emergency". If I understand correctly (and I could well be wrong), in a national emergency, the president can (temporarily, theoretically) assume powers that neither Congress nor the Constitution gives him. Lincoln did this, briefly, during the Civil War.
The article doesn't give any more detail on the "national emergency". But I worry that it could be a "get out of jail free" card for the president to do more than Congress authorized in the IEEPA.

Does anyone know enough to shed some light here?
