It is the sense of Congress that— successive Presidents from both parties have used the authority granted by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ( 50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) and the National Emergencies Act ( 50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) to declare national emergencies that do not meet the threshold of unusual and extraordinary threat[s] to the national security and foreign policy of the United States ; and in order to restore Congress’ original intent in enacting such laws, it is necessary to reclaim Congress’ constitutional power over the use of sanctions.
