Relating to a national emergency declared by the President on May 16, 2012.

House Joint Resolution 74 is a measure that would formally end the national emergency regarding Yemen first declared by the executive branch in 2012. This specific emergency declaration provides the legal basis for the U.S. government to freeze the assets and block the property of individuals deemed to be threatening the peace and stability of Yemen. If enacted, this resolution would remove those specific sanctions and limit the President’s current emergency powers related to that region.
