Besides raising questions about whether a national emergency declaration can facilitate the construction of such barriers (a topic discussed in a related Sidebar), the declaration has also prompted more general interest in the National Emergencies Act, including in other emergencies declared under the Act that are currently in effect. This Sidebar-the second of a two-part series identifying declarations issued under the National Emergencies Act, provides a Table identifying national emergency declarations that are no longer in effect as of February 15, 2019 (the companion Sidebar, identifying declarations that remain in effect, can be found here). The Table also lists statutory authorities cited to support the initial Executive Order or Presidential Proclamation, along with statutory authorities expressly cited in those documents as the legal basis for actions taken in response to the declared emergency. Finally, the Table identifies the executive action that ended the declared emergency. This list was generated by searching the Presidential Documents database on Westlaw for citations to the National Emergencies Act and the terms emergency and declare or proclaim. To determine the status of each declared national emergency, we consulted the Executive Orders Disposition Tables, produced by the National Archives, searched the Federal Register database on Westlaw for the Executive Order or Presidential Proclamation number and variations and combinations of the terms contin! or revok! or rescind! or termin!, and reviewed presidential actions posted on the White House website on February 15, 2019. In part because there is little case law on the matter and the Executive has arguably taken conflicting views over the years on the Act's relationship with other statutes, this Sidebar identifies only those Executive Orders and Presidential Proclamations that expressly invoke the National Emergencies Act.
