Ending a National Emergency Declaration

Key Points

  • Members of Congress introduced this resolution to officially end a national emergency that the President declared on July 30, 2025.
  • When a President declares a national emergency, they gain special powers to handle a crisis; however, Congress has the legal authority to vote to cancel those powers.
  • This resolution specifically targets Executive Order 14323. If it passes, the special emergency authorities granted by that order would be stopped immediately.
  • This action serves as a check on executive power, ensuring that the government only uses emergency rules when they are truly necessary for the country.
