Thanks. The bummer is that Congress can block the order under the statutes.

The article didn’t give the details though. So I’m not sure if it would take a majority or something like 2/3.

Also not sure it can be blocked by just one chamber or if it takes both.

Brian Cates has a fantastic short thread about this topic, maybe I can post later.

I don't understand how any human being can support on-demand murder of a baby...it's illegal to destroy turtle eggs in the state of NY State, but @NYGovCuomo, the modern Ted Bundy, has signed into law the ability to murder right up to it's due date - which means a full term human https://t.co/KbZUvuukqC— Tony Shaffer (@T_S_P_O_O_K_Y) January 25, 2019

Looks like that was changed in 1985

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Emergencies_Act

An activation would expire if the President expressly terminated the emergency, or did not renew the emergency annually, or if each house of Congress passed a resolution terminating the emergency.

After presidents objected to this "Congressional termination" provision on separation of powers grounds, it was replaced in 1985 with termination by an enacted joint resolution.

This means that for Congress to rescind a declared emergency, not only must they pass the joint resolution, but the President must sign the legislation.

The Act also requires the President and executive agencies to maintain records of all orders and regulations that proceed from use of emergency authority, and to regularly report the cost incurred to Congress.
