Sam @samcb.bsky.social · 21/01/2025It's been going around right wing circles for a while as an attempted way to resolve ambiguities other definitions have. I am not sure where it originates but here for example JK Rowling using the same thing last year. 010

![The Act authorizes the President to activate emergency provisions of law via an emergency declaration on the condition that the President specifies the provisions so activated and notifies Congress. An activation would expire if the President expressly terminated the emergency, or did not renew the emergency annually, or if each house of Congress passed a resolution terminating the emergency. After presidents objected to this "Congressional termination" provision on separation of powers grounds, and the Supreme Court in INS v. Chadha (1983) held such provisions to be an unconstitutional legislative veto,[17] it was replaced in 1985 with termination by an enacted joint resolution. A joint resolution passed by both chambers requires presidential signature, giving the president veto power over the termination (requiring a two-thirds majority in both houses in the case of a contested termination).[18] The Act also requires the President and executive agencies to maintain records of all orders and regulations that proceed from use of emergency authority, and to regularly report the cost incurred to Congress.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6ycymf3bnnnjbsvufw3otf7g/bafkreid6qiyphaf2ree3imzym26pouufupb2wm2gfyb76dfmtvpqeue57a)
