AI Summary
This bill, the "Assuring that Robust, Thorough, and Informed Congressional Leadership is Exercised Over National Emergencies Act" or the "ARTICLE ONE Act," amends the National Emergencies Act to require the President to obtain congressional approval through a joint resolution for declaring and renewing national emergencies. The bill sets a 30-day temporary effective period for national emergency declarations and the exercising of emergency powers, after which they will terminate unless Congress approves them. It also requires the President to specify the statutory authorities to be used and report to Congress on the emergency, its duration, and actions taken. The bill repeals provisions in the National Emergencies Act and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to conform with these new requirements.
