HJRES 71 United States House · 118th Congress

Relating to a national emergency declared by the President on May 22, 2003.

H.J. Res. 71 would terminate a national emergency declared by the President on May 22, 2003. The resolution ends this emergency under Section 202 of the National Emergencies Act, removing the legal basis for special authorities granted during the emergency. This change would directly affect the executive branch by ending the use of emergency powers activated under that declaration. The bill does not alter substantive policy but formally concludes a decades-old emergency status.
