You might try reading 2e. Also read 3.

This document does NOT support your position.

what a loaded question. having not read the linked press release, it is true that the president exercises broad commander-in-chief powers under Art II of the Constitution, particularly in a national emergency, and there are certain liberties that are evaded to attain 'safety', but this doesn't necessarily equate to total domination of the united states...just broader powers.
