Relative to the President's National Emergency Declaration.

Summary
This measure would urge the houses of the United States Congress to stand in unity and block the President's national emergency declaration by overriding the veto of House Joint Resolution 46 and, if not possible, to consider terminating the declaration of national emergency within 6 months or at the earliest possible time pursuant to the National Emergencies Act. The measure would urge the President to reconsider his motives and decision and allow military, defense, and counterdrug funds to be used for the purposes for which they are needed and for which they were made available.
