In 2001, President George W. Bush used his authority under the National Emergencies Act to declare a national emergency in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks. This declaration allowed the federal government to mobilize resources and implement measures to enhance national security. It also facilitated the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security and the implementation of various counterterrorism initiatives. The declaration remained in effect for years, impacting domestic and foreign policy significantly.
