When first introduced in the last Congress, the bill passed out of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in September 2024. “An emergency declared during the Carter Administration should not still be in effect. When I was Chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties, I held hearings on the National Emergencies Act and built bipartisan support for its reform. Our government is defined by checks and balances. But right now, Presidents can tap into emergency powers without any meaningful political check, time limit, or public rationale. We need to restore the balance of power and make sure that emergency powers are used only in true emergencies and that Congress is involved in their assessment and duration. I’m pleased to join with my colleague Congressman Chip Roy in this continuing bipartisan effort at meaningful reform,” said Congressman Cohen.
