The Emergency Powers Act was enacted by the Senate of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances after the Second Galactic Civil War. It gave the Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance several temporary executive powers, although it also stated—in a clause included by Kuati Senator Haydnat Treen—that the Chief of State could not suspend the Senate. Also, the Appropriations and Disbursements Committee was given the power to freeze government spending.
