The Emergency Powers Act or EPA was an amendment to the Galactic Constitution passed in 24 BBY. It eliminated term limits for Supreme Chancellors, giving each Chancellor the option of when to stand down for new elections. It also gave Palpatine all necessary authority to attempt to end the Separatist Crisis, including declaration of martial law on local systems.
