HR 464 United States House · 118th Congress

Separation of Powers Restoration Act

This bill repeals the War Powers Resolution and terminates all national emergency declarations after 90 days, shifting emergency authority from the President to Congress. It requires presidential orders to cite specific constitutional or statutory authority and limits such orders to executive branch actions, with exceptions for pardons, military orders as Commander-in-Chief, and orders citing valid congressional authority. Congress, states, and affected individuals may legally challenge orders exceeding presidential authority under this framework.
