Republican Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar has introduced an expedited joint resolution to end the ongoing COVID-19 national emergency.
Former President Donald Trump invoked the National Emergencies Act (NEA) in March 2020, and President Joe Biden extended it in February. Gosar’s resolution will force a vote in which Congress will decide whether or not to extend the emergency further.
“Over a year later, with cases falling, vaccine rates rising, and states reopening, it is prudent for Congress to consider the merit of the emergency continuation,” Rep. Gosar told the Daily Caller. “I have always said, good process, makes good policy, which makes good politics. Ensuring Congress adheres to good process is the foundation for an effective government, and I am proud to introduce this resolution to restore Congressional role in emergency powers.”
