Who has the power to declare a state of emergency in the United States?

President.
Supreme Court.
Congress.
State governors.

The correct answer is: President.

The President has the power to declare a state of emergency in the United States. This is specified in the Constitution, which grants the President the authority to respond to emergencies and threats to national security. While the Supreme Court and Congress may play a role in emergency situations, they do not have the power to declare a state of emergency. State governors may also have the power to declare a state of emergency within their own state, but this does not apply to the entire country. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
