reminds Germans of the "enabling act" 1933 which Hitler used to grab power.

similar - a bill or amendment to the constitution that grants him indefinite
and unlimited powers. Officially to fight the disease and to protect Americans.
In reality to protect himself. Once he has this emergency powers, he will never
give them
