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.
********************************************************************************
That makes zero sense. If a President declares the emergency and Congress disagrees, he’s not going to sign that-he’ll veto it.

From the article linked below:
Since 1985, any congressional vote to stop the emergency can be vetoed by the president—and overridden only if there is a two-thirds majority in both chambers.

Seems like I found the playbook should Pres. Trump pull the trigger on this ?

They will refer to this document to justify judicial review:

but the veto can then be over ridden so there is still some check on POTUS power as it should be - but takes more than a simple majority who disagree
