Relating to a national emergency by the President on February 1, 2025.

# HJRES 73 Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This resolution would block or challenge a national emergency declaration made by the President on February 1, 2025. Under the National Emergencies Act, Congress has the power to terminate a presidential emergency declaration, and this resolution appears to be an attempt to exercise that authority. If passed, it would effectively end the emergency declaration and any special powers or actions taken under it. **Who It Affects:** This resolution could impact federal agencies, businesses, and the public depending on what actions were taken under the emergency declaration. The specific effects would depend on what emergency was declared and what measures the President implemented as a result. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee and has not advanced further.

Sponsor Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) introduced it, indicating Democratic opposition to the emergency declaration. For the resolution to pass, it would need committee approval, a House floor vote, and Senate approval. *Note: The bill's subjects are not specified in the available information, so the exact nature of the emergency being challenged is unclear from these records alone.*.
