IMO, Emilie is correct. I think many American presidents in wartime have taken actions that can be described as extraconstitutional. For example, during World War II President Roosevelt ordered over 100,000 Japanese persons living on the West Coast (many of whom were U.S. citizens) moved to internment camps.

Also you can compare it with Former French President François Hollande, who took State of Emergency measures after the Bataclan attacks in Paris, November 13th 2015. Thus included house searching without mandate and protest restrictions. At the moment I cringed, but looking back it was justified. ISIS planned another attack against a kindergarten among other targets. And many perpetrators and accomplices were on the run.
