Bill Summary
A joint resolution terminating the national emergency declared to impose global tariffs.
AI Summary
This joint resolution terminates a national emergency previously declared by the President through Executive Order 14257 on April 2, 2025, which had imposed global tariffs. Specifically, the resolution uses Section 202 of the National Emergencies Act (a federal law that governs how Presidents can declare and maintain national emergencies) to end the emergency declaration. The termination would take effect on the date the joint resolution is enacted, effectively ending the presidential authority to maintain the global tariffs that were established under the original emergency declaration. By passing this resolution, Congress is exercising its oversight power to check the executive branch's use of emergency powers, particularly in the context of international trade policy.
