S 5211 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Safeguarding Our Stockpiles Act

This bill modifies the president's emergency authority to provide military aid to allies. It requires the president to report an "unforeseen emergency" (defined as an undetected attack on a US ally posing immediate security threats) to Congress before directing aid, limiting such drawdowns to a 20-day window. The bill sets a $100 million annual cap for emergency aid beyond regular funding, mandating specific congressional approval through a streamlined joint resolution process for amounts exceeding this limit. The resolution must specify a single country and follow strict procedural rules, including expedited debate time and no amendments.
