There's a US code that requires national emergencies declared in an executive order to specify where in US code authorizes him to do so. According to the executive order, this law authorizes him to take unilateral action in certain circumstances: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/1701 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/1701
He seems to also be invoking a US code that allows certain conditions of a declared national emergency to override a legislative two-year sunset? https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/1601 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/1601 I am guessing that's why he cites it, so his executive order won't sunset.
IANAL, I just read the executive order.
