Various policies have been issued by the President or the Government in Handling Covid-19. Article 12 and Article 22 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia are the handling points for Covid-19 which meet the dangerous threat requirements as a global pandemic. However, the President did not choose to use the legal instruments of Article 12 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and chose to use Article 22 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia by issuing a Government Regulation in lie of Law and several legal instruments and policies to overcome Covid-19. This study aims to find out the problems with the president’s constitutional authority in handling the 2019 Corona Virus Disease (Covid-19) in Indonesia. The research method used is normative juridical with qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that the President or Government in overcoming the Covid-19 Pandemic did not use a foundation when experiencing what was called a state emergency in Article 12 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Emergency Constitutional Law is not declared declaratively. This can be seen from the existence of legal irregularities in the Perppu 1 of 2020.
