    Trump imposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China by declaring illegal migration and fentanyl constituted a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the National Emergencies Act. [Under] the NEA, Congress has the authority to move quickly to terminate that emergency declaration. […] The section reads, “Each day for the remainder of the first session of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act with respect to a joint resolution terminating a national emergency declared by the President on February 1, 2025.” Source

    Which means that the only people (afaik) who could have ended the ‘national emergency’ that he’s using for a lot of his declarations, signed that power away for this next year. Meaning he’s going to spend this next year dismantling the rule of law and ensconce himself as emperor.
