A.11. Cyber-Security Emergencies
The President may declare a cybersecurity emergency when a cyberattack poses a direct threat to national security, critical infrastructure, or the continuity of constitutional government.
Such a declaration authorizes relevant federal agencies to act as required by statute to coordinate with private infrastructure, limit access to compromised systems, or take defensive action. This authority may not be used to compel speech, suppress political expression, or gain control over privately held communications or financial assets except as specifically permitted by law.
A declaration of cybersecurity emergency shall expire after thirty (30) days unless reauthorized by Congress. All actions taken must remain consistent with the Rights of the People and are subject to judicial review.
