Relating to a national emergency by the President on July 30, 2025.
H. J. Res. 117 is a joint resolution introduced in August 2025 that seeks to terminate the national emergency declared by the President on July 30, 2025, under Executive Order 14323. The resolution relies on the National Emergencies Act (Section 202) to end the emergency status. If enacted, the emergency authorities and measures tied to that declaration would discontinue, returning the legal framework to normal statutory authority. The bill does not amend or repeal the executive order itself but terminates the underlying emergency that justified the use of emergency powers. The bill was introduced in the House (sponsored by Mr. Meeks and several cosponsors) and referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. It represents a straightforward Congressional action to terminate a specific national emergency, without proposing alternative policies or new authorities.
