    Lmao. There was a similar law requiring Congress to review the tariffs. You know what those spineless Republican asslickers in Congress did? They literally passed a law saying that, regarding tariffs, the entire rest of this year’s legislative session is just one day long.

      This is the opposite. The existing law has them vote to overturn it. As it stands, it remains an emergency until Congress says otherwise.

      This law would automatically end it unless a supermajority says otherwise. Supermajority would hopefully prevent a single party from having enough control to do otherwise.

      It says calendar days, so even if Congress considered all this a single day and refuse to vote, the emergency would expire anyway.
