Executive Order 13912, which authorized moving reservists to active duty during the COVID pandemic, is null and void because the underlying emergency declaration ended in May 2023.
So this has to do with an executive order that Trump signed on March 27th, 2020, Executive Order 13912, which covered the authorization to move some reservists to active duty thanks to the COVID pandemic. The authority to do this was predicated on Proclamation 9994, which was the declaring of a state of emergency over COVID, which ended on May 11th, 2023. By virtue of that emergency declaration, ending this executive order is null and void.
