          <text>&lt;p&gt;This bill addresses the period for the congressional review of termination of certain national emergencies.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Specifically, it requires each house of Congress to vote every six months on a joint resolution to determine whether an emergency declaration shall be terminated. Currently, each house must consider a vote every six months (but not necessarily vote) on a joint resolution to determine whether that emergency shall continue to be in effect.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
