As far as I know, the US constitution doesn't have anything similar to that, but rest assured, they're looking.
You don't know your history. The US President has wide ill-defined emergency powers. It is these emergency powers which Roosevelt used to place Japanese Americans in Internment camps in WW2. (EO 9066)

These powers are only implied by the constitution but they exist. He just needs to declare a public emergency or some other thing with Bill Barr & Co giving him legal cover.
