This House Joint Resolution seeks to terminate a national emergency that was declared by the President on February 1, 2025. The resolution specifically references Executive Order 14193, which established this emergency and is identified by its Federal Register citation. By invoking section 202 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622), Congress asserts its authority to end the presidential declaration. The passage of this resolution would formally conclude the state of national emergency as defined by the President's finding.
