The spill is a national emergency, it threatens our economy and the President can assume executive powers in such circumstances

Of course the president assumes executive powers when he takes the oath of office and those powers are constrained by the Constitution. What you described sounds like the system of government in Communist China or Nazi Germany. Evidently you didn't bother to read the piece by Thomas Sowell that I linked to.
