Amending Emergency Resolution Timelines: Counting All Calendar Days

This resolution changes how days are counted for ending two national emergencies declared by the President. It ensures that all days, including those when the House of Representatives is not in session, are counted as calendar days. This means the process for terminating a national emergency could be faster, affecting the duration of extraordinary government powers.
Key points
All days, including non-session days of the House, will count towards the timeline for terminating national emergencies.
This change applies to national emergencies declared on February 1, 2025, and April 2, 2025.
The aim is to expedite the process for Congress to potentially end national emergencies.
