Congressman Paul Gosar (@DrPaulGosar)

I recently introduced H.J. Res. 70, legislation terminating the national emergency related to Libya declared by Obama on February 25, 2011. There are currently 41 extended national emergencies that are subject to periodic Congressional review and periodic presidential reporting requirements, including the declaration related to Libya that is more than a decade old. My legislation terminates this national emergency declaration, restores dignity and due process to the people of Libya, and restores the required congressional role over the power of the purse, sanctions, and termination of never-ending national emergency declarations.
