The NEA means national emergencies aren't a simple binary state. Instead, the President invokes "emergencies" on an as-needed basis to access specific powers delegated to him by Congress, which can shut him down with a vote (and, of course, can repeal the grants of power altogether).
So it's not as if the President can say "oh noez hackers national emergency!", suspend habeas, and imprison Michal Zalewski†. Instead: Congress gave the President the authority to recognize arbitrary foreign powers as "threats" and, pursuant to the declaration of a "national emergency", to interfere with their financial transactions. That's what Obama has done here, presumably with China as the subtext.
In the wake of KindHearts, if these powers are executed against American citizens or organizations, they can be challenged and overturned on 4th Amendment grounds. (Note the powers we're talking about are, again, only meaningful in the context of foreign transactions, or assets whose beneficiaries are foreign threat actors).
i think this is actually part of the business model a few newspapers are trying to take on. More of a 'gently encourage' people to buy subscriptions rather than a hard and fast 'Brick Wall' paywall. From what I hear, it's working pretty well.
As long as you choose an inertial frame of reference, it wouldn't matter. Many people forget that while velocity is relative to the observer, acceleration is not. And we all know moving along a curved path has non-zero acceleration.
Imagine that you are in a vast empty dark abyss without gravity (a.k.a. the space) and all you can see is a transparent sealed container with some water in it positioned above your head. Consider these two scenarios: 1. You are rotating around the axis of your body with velocity Ω, and 2. The container has the velocity -Ω around the same axis. You might expect these two scenarios to be identical. After all, the relative velocity of two objects is similar in these cases. But only if the container is the moving body we will observe that the water is affected by centrifugal[1] force.
It is obvious that earth is rotating around the sun not the other way around. You just have to consider the forces.

Not to give the OP undue attention for what is a truly weird post, but a curved path through curved spacetime (as seen from a different perspective), as with a gravitational orbit, can have zero acceleration.

That's not obvious at all -- there are no forces at work in a relativistic orbit (because gravity is not a force). The earth and the sun orbit their mutual center of mass, neither experiences acceleration, and neither of them experience a real centripetal or fictional centrifugal force.
Therefore there would be no way to use centrifugal force to argue that one of the bodies has a special role in the orbit. It's easy to see why -- just adjust the relative masses, gradually make the sun's mass smaller and the earth's mass larger, and try to argue that there's a special moment where their roles reverse. Clearly not the case -- regardless of their relative masses they're always equal partners in an orbit, with one of the bodies farther from the mutual center of mass in proportion to its (smaller) mass.
Technically, both objects are orbiting their barycenter, or center of mass. For the Sun and Earth, that barycenter is very near the center of the Sun, so in common parlance most people will refer to the Earth as orbiting the Sun.
Perhaps asking whether "the planets" orbit the Sun would lower the chance of ambiguity.
I've had rebate cards blocked because my name "Omar Ali" matched the alias "Ali Omar" of someone who is in detention in the Philippines but still on this list http://www.un.org/sc/committees/1267/AQList.htm
Adding a letter to my last name was enough to not match anymore.
I'm not sure if that was extended in 2014 but after some googling I also found that we have multiple ongoing national emergencies http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2014/10/22/presi...
