Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.
This resolution uses the law that lets Congress end a presidential national emergency. It states that the national emergency declared by the President on February 1, 2025 (by Executive Order 14193) is terminated. Because it is a joint resolution, it must be passed by both the House and the Senate and then be sent to the President. If the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto, the emergency is ended.
As a joint resolution to terminate a national emergency, it must be approved by both chambers and presented to the President; the President can sign or veto it, and a veto can be overridden by Congress.
This joint resolution would terminate the national emergency declared by the President on February 1, 2025 (Executive Order 14193).
It invokes section 202 of the National Emergencies Act to end that declared emergency and any special authorities tied to it.
The text is limited to that termination and does not specify the subject matter or consequences of the emergency.
Content is simple and low-cost but faces Senate procedural hurdles and potential presidential veto risk; political dynamics determine outcome.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a concise, narrowly focused substantive measure that clearly identifies the emergency to be terminated and the statutory authority for termination; it provides a minimal but adequate mechanism for the single action it effects.
Progressives emphasize restoring civil liberties and checking executive power.

Progressives emphasize restoring civil liberties and checking executive power.
Likely supportive of ending a presidentially declared emergency as a check on executive power and civil liberties.
Support is tempered if the emergency funded important public health, climate, or social protections — those impacts are unclear from the text.
Cautiously supportive if the emergency was no longer needed, valuing rule-of-law and Congressional oversight.
Would want assurances that terminating it won't create operational gaps in legitimate responses.
Likely opposed if the emergency provided tools conservatives favor, such as border security or national-security measures.
Opposition focuses on losing executive flexibility and operational capability.
