After having been enacted in March, 2020, the National Emergency<\/span><\/a> Concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease Outbreak\u00a0 <\/span>had been subject to Senate Republican efforts to terminate the Emergency declaration\u00a0 <\/span>in March 2022.\u00a0 <\/span>The resolution, introduced by Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kansas) failed at that time on a strict party line 48 \u2013 47 vote.<\/span><\/p>\n However, with a new Republican majority in the House, another vote was conducted on February 1<\/span> which approved the Resolution to terminate on a 229 \u2013 197 vote<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 <\/span>Eleven House Democrats voted with Republicans to terminate the Covid Emergency. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n It is not often when the minority Senate Republicans, frequently split by those who routinely vote with the Democrats, are able to pull off a legislative success of any consequence. \u00a0 <\/span>However, Sen. Marshall stepped up to give the Resolution to Terminate another try. \u00a0 <\/span>This time, with twenty Senate Democrats voting with Republicans, the Senate voted 68 \u2013 23\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/a> to terminate <\/span>HJ\u00a0 <\/span>Resolution 7<\/span> which declares that \u201c<\/span>the national emergency declared by the finding of the President on March 13, 2020, in Proclamation 9994 (85 Fed. Reg. 15337) is hereby terminated.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
