Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This joint resolution terminates a national emergency that President Biden declared on July 30, 2025, through Executive Order 14323. Under the National Emergencies Act, Congress has the power to override a presidential emergency declaration, and this resolution exercises that authority to end the declared emergency. The resolution was introduced by Representative Meeks and four co-sponsors and was referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. The bill does not specify what prompted the original emergency declaration or provide details about its scope. If passed by both chambers of Congress, this resolution would immediately cancel the emergency declaration and any special powers or authorities granted to the President under that designation.
