National emergencies act case decided by supreme Court in 1983

https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/462/919

Court upheld to overturn a presidential veto it required 2/3 vote in BOTH house and senate

And even WAPO knows it

Congress has given the president far too much power to declare emergencies

Trump can declare a national emergency to build his wall — and that should scare us Congress has given the president far too much power to declare emergencies

Then build the wall. After that Congress can rein in the power to declare emergencies some.

Congress can't act alone except in narrow circumstances.
The big deal about that Chadha decision was: Prior to this decision, the INS law (and others) did not allow the president's approval or veto of Congressional action against it.

SCOTUS ruled that a legislative (congressional) veto of the AG’s actions as unconstitutional.

That was the gist of the whole suit.

Hence they had to change that law to follow separation of powers. That rippled downhill to:
50 U.S.C. §§1601-1651 Sec. 1601. Termination of existing declared emergencies

which also only had a congressional veto

( as an aside.. Why should the courts be allowed to do what SCOTUS says Congress cannot do ?)

and I am with you...good luck with getting 2/3rds of congress to override his veto
All the president has to do is concentrate on the number needed to sustain the veto in either house. 34 in the senate and\or 147 in the House.
