Or…
If they were intellectually honest about this, they'd change the underlying law that allows redistribution of funds, or the law that authorizes emergency declarations.
But nooooooo…
They want to keep THOSE laws and just change the ability to rebuke a President for exercising them.
I can see a SCOTUS challenge that says that a law to override a declaration of emergency is unnecessary since Congress delegated the authority in the first place and has the power to decide the limits of that declaration at the outset.
They can't delegate the authority and then put backsies on it, otherwise it's not really a delegation. That would cripple a President who is trying to react to an emergency, if Congress is back-seat driving the President every step of the way.
The proper channel is to restrict the original delegation or revoke it entirely and force Congress to exercise the power themselves.

Well said...Congress gave this power to the President and now they want to control how it’s carried out.
