The six universal dives are asked of every subject at this tier. This is not one of them. It exists because of one thing this subject has been — head of government — and a subject who has not been that never gets this page. That is why this record has 7 overlay dives to write rather than a number every record shares. All six base dives were written first, and that ordering is a rule rather than a habit: an overlay dive published on its own is a page about the part of someone chosen by whoever built it.
Second run of this dive. It set out to close the gap the first one named — how many emergencies have ended — and failed. The attempt has a tab rather than a footnote, because the trap that broke it is the same one that has broken two other parses in this project.
The six base dives and the other 6 overlay dives are listed on the full record.
Of the 44 national emergencies in force, eight were declared under this record. The other 36 were switched on by five earlier presidents — Carter, Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama and the first Trump term — and renewed here because the statute requires a president to renew them or let them lapse.
The 44 national emergencies in force, split by whether the declaring order issued in this term. Read from the table validated in the first build of this dive.
A president declares a handful and inherits dozens. That ratio is the most important fact about this power and it is invisible on any chart of who declared what: the same eight appear on this page as an action and on the other records' pages as part of the pile they inherited. Nothing here counts a renewal as a decision, because a one-page notice signed annually is a very different act from a declaration.
The fifth of seven overlay dives on the full record. Nine of the forty-four emergencies were declared under Barack Obama and twelve across the two terms of Donald Trump — the same pile, appearing on each record as a different mix of what was declared and what was signed on.
