| description | This article analyzes one of the central issues for modern constitutionalism: the control of power. With the crisis provoked by COVID-19, it has put all the world's democratic institutions in check. This has caused the temptation of strong presidents to resurface, or even to reach out to authoritarian presidentialisms under the argument of being able to respond better to the challenge. The methodology used for this research will be qualitative, in the sense that the resulting analysis is based on the study in various texts of the famous metaconstitutional faculties that have had an impact on constitutional reality. Likewise, the results of 2018 will be analyzed, considering that it could detonate the meta-constitutional faculties of the Mexican resident. As a result of the research, the importance of the study of the constitutional debate in the Weimar Republic, during the Between Wars period, is proven. It is considered the most rigorous and has contributed the most to juridical sciences. There we can fall into the juridical positivism of Kelsen, the decisionism of Schmitt, the integrationist of Smend, or the methodology of the constitutional sciences of Heller. |

El presente artículo analiza uno de los temas centrales para el constitucionalismo moderno: el control del poder. El cual, con la crisis provocada por el COVID-19, ha puesto en jaque a todas las instituciones democráticas del mundo. Ello ha ocasionado que resurjan las tentaciones de presidentes fuertes, o incluso de llegar a los presidencialismos autoritarios bajo el argumento de poder responder mejor al reto. La metodología que se emplea para la presente investigación será cualitativa, en el sentido de que el análisis resultante es a partir del estudio en diversos textos, de las famosas facultades metaconstitucionales que han repercutido en la realidad constitucional. Igualmente, se analizarán los resultados de 2018, teniendo en cuenta que podría detonar las facultades metaconstitucionales del presidente mexicano. Como resultado de la investigación se acredita la importancia del estudio del debate del constitucional suscitado en la República de Weimar, en la época Entre Guerras. El cual, es considerado el de mayor rigor científico y que más ha aportado a las ciencias jurídicas. Allí podemos caer en el positivismo jurídico de Kelsen, decisionismo de Schmitt, integracionismo de Smend, o la metodología de las ciencias constitucionales de Heller. Este artigo analisa um dos temas centrais do constitucionalismo moderno: o controle do poder. Que, com a crise provocada pela COVID-19, colocou em xeque todas as instituições democráticas do mundo. Isso fez que as tentações de presidentes fortes reaparecessem, ou mesmo alcançar o presidencialismo autoritário, sob oargumento de serem capazes de responder melhor ao desafio. A metodologia utilizada para esta pesquisa será qualitativa, no sentido de que a análise resultante se baseia no estudo em diversos textos dos famosospoderes metaconstitucionais que tiveram impacto na realidade constitucional. Da mesma forma, serão analisados os resultados de 2018, levando-se em conta que pode detonar os poderes metaconstitucionaisdo presidente mexicano. Como resultado da pesquisa, credita-se a importância do estudo do debate constitucional surgido na República de Weimar, na era Entre Guerras. Que é considerada a que tem maior rigor científico e que mais tem contribuído para as ciências jurídicas. Aí podemos cair no positivismo jurídico de Kelsen, no decisionismo de Schmitt, no integracionismo de Smend ou na metodologia de Heller das ciências constitucionais.
