Speeding Up Congressional Review of National Emergency Termination.

This resolution changes how Congress counts time to speed up the process of ending a national emergency declared by the President on February 1, 2025. The change ensures that "calendar days" (including weekends and recesses) are used when considering a resolution to terminate the emergency. This procedural shift means Congress must act faster, potentially leading to a quicker resolution of the emergency status.
Key points
Time calculation change: Congress must use calendar days, not just legislative days, when reviewing a resolution to end a national emergency.
Faster termination process: This accelerates the timeline for Congress to vote on ending the national emergency declared on February 1, 2025.
