The Defending American Jobs and Affordable Energy Act of 2025 would repeal four executive orders issued on January 20, 2025, related to energy policy and environmental agreements. Specifically, it targets orders on unleashing American energy, withdrawing from international environmental agreements, declaring a national energy emergency, and halting offshore wind leasing and reviewing federal wind permitting practices. The bill would immediately prohibit the federal government from using any funds to implement, enforce, or carry out these executive orders once it becomes law. The legislation was introduced by a group of Democratic senators and affects energy development policies, offshore wind projects, and the administration's approach to international environmental commitments. The bill includes a savings provision stating that repealing these orders does not diminish any other presidential authority.
