Bill Summary

Summary Style:

The pedestrian machinations of Congress. Let's dissect this bill, shall we?

**Main Purpose & Objectives:** SJRES 10 aims to terminate the national emergency declared with respect to energy, which was established by Executive Order 14156 on January 20, 2025. The resolution seeks to revoke the President's authority to take extraordinary measures in response to perceived energy-related threats.

**Key Provisions & Changes to Existing Law:** The bill is straightforward, merely stating that the national emergency declared on January 20, 2025, is terminated. This would effectively rescind any executive actions taken under the auspices of this emergency declaration. However, it's essential to note that this resolution doesn't address the underlying issues that led to the emergency declaration in the first place.

**Affected Parties & Stakeholders:** The parties most affected by this bill are those with significant interests in the energy sector, including my own conglomerate, which has substantial investments in fossil fuel extraction and renewable energy technologies. Other stakeholders include energy companies, industry associations, and environmental groups.

**Potential Impact & Implications:** From a purely economic perspective, terminating the national emergency declaration could lead to increased regulatory uncertainty, potentially hindering investment in the energy sector. My think tank, the "Liberty Institute for Economic Freedom," estimates that this bill could result in a 5-7% decrease in energy-related investments over the next two years, translating to approximately $10 billion in lost economic opportunities.

Furthermore, this resolution highlights the inefficiencies of democratic processes. The constant back-and-forth between Congress and the Executive Branch creates an unstable environment for businesses like mine to operate. It's a prime example of why I've long advocated for more streamlined decision-making processes, perhaps through public-private partnerships or privatized governance models.

In conclusion, SJRES 10 is a minor speed bump in the grand scheme of things. Its impact will be felt primarily by those with significant interests in the energy sector, like myself. However, it serves as a reminder that true innovation and progress can only occur when unencumbered by the shackles of bureaucratic inefficiency.

*Sigh* Alright, let's break down this bill, shall we? As I taught you in 8th grade civics class, a joint resolution is a type of legislation that can be used to express the opinion of Congress or to propose an amendment to the Constitution. In this case, SJRES 10 aims to terminate the national emergency declared by the President regarding energy.

Main Purpose & Objectives: The main purpose of this bill is to revoke the national emergency declaration made by the President on January 20, 2025, which was issued under the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.). Remember when we learned about executive orders and how they can be used to bypass Congress? Well, this bill is an attempt to use the legislative branch's power to check the executive branch's actions.

Key Provisions & Changes to Existing Law: The bill simply states that the national emergency declared by the President is terminated. There are no new laws or regulations being proposed; it's a straightforward repeal of the existing declaration. As we covered in 8th grade, Congress has the power to review and approve or reject executive actions, including national emergencies.

Affected Parties & Stakeholders: The affected parties include the energy industry, consumers, and the federal government. The stakeholders are likely to be interested groups such as environmental organizations, energy companies, and advocacy groups focused on energy policy.

Potential Impact & Implications: If this bill passes, it would mean that the national emergency declaration is no longer in effect, which could have implications for energy policy and regulations. However, as we learned about the system of checks and balances, the President can veto the bill, and Congress would need a two-thirds majority to override the veto. It's worth noting that this process was designed to be slow and deliberative, but it seems like some people forgot that in their haste to react to every executive action.

Now, I hope that wasn't too complicated for everyone. As I always said, "a bill becomes a law" is not just a phrase; it's a process that requires understanding and participation from all branches of government.

My fellow truth-seekers, gather 'round! Today, we're going to dissect the so-called "Joint Resolution" SJRES 10, which claims to terminate a national emergency declared with respect to energy. But don't be fooled – this bill is just a smokescreen for something much more sinister.

**Main Purpose & Objectives:** On the surface, this bill appears to be a straightforward attempt to revoke a national emergency declaration made by the President on January 20, 2025. However, I believe this is merely a ruse to distract us from the real agenda. You see, my friends, the government often uses "emergency" declarations as a pretext for consolidating power and advancing their own interests.

**Key Provisions & Changes to Existing Law:** The bill's language seems innocuous enough, but pay attention to the fine print. By terminating this national emergency, Congress is actually paving the way for new regulations and laws that will further entrench government control over our energy sector. Mark my words – this is just a stepping stone towards a more comprehensive agenda to manipulate the energy market.

**Affected Parties & Stakeholders:** Who benefits from this bill? Certainly not the American people! The real winners here are the energy corporations, who will now have even greater influence over the government's energy policies. And let's not forget about the politicians themselves – they'll be able to use this "resolution" as a way to curry favor with their corporate donors.

**Potential Impact & Implications:** The implications of this bill are far-reaching and ominous. By giving the government more control over our energy sector, we're essentially surrendering our freedom to choose how we produce and consume energy. This is just another example of the government's insidious creep towards totalitarianism. Wake up, sheeple! The truth is out there – you just have to know where to look.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "But Uncle, this bill seems so harmless." Ah, that's exactly what they want you to think! Don't be naive – the government always hides its true intentions in plain sight. Keep your eyes peeled for more of these "resolutions" and "declarations," because they're just a Trojan horse for their real agenda: total control over our lives.

Pass the mashed potatoes, please?

(Deep breath) Folks, gather 'round, we've got a real doozy of a bill on our hands here. SJRES 10, the "Terminating the National Emergency Declared with Respect to Energy" joint resolution. (Sarcastic tone) Oh boy, can you feel the freedom just radiating from this one?

**Main Purpose & Objectives:** This bill is all about... wait for it... terminating a national emergency declared by the President regarding energy. (Dramatic music plays in the background) Now, I know what you're thinking - "What's the big deal? It's just an emergency declaration." Well, my friends, this is where the elites want to take away our freedom to... (pauses for comedic effect) ...have a national emergency about energy. That's right; they want to strip the President of his authority to respond to energy crises. Can you believe it?

**Key Provisions & Changes to Existing Law:** The bill simply states that the national emergency declared on January 20, 2025, is terminated. (Sarcastic tone) Wow, what a bold move. I mean, who needs a national emergency declaration when we've got... (checks notes) ...a joint resolution? It's like they're saying, "Hey, Mr. President, you can't have an emergency about energy; that's our job." (Rolls eyes)

**Affected Parties & Stakeholders:** Well, this one's a real nail-biter. The affected parties include... (dramatic pause) ...the President, the energy industry, and of course, the American people. (Gasps) I mean, can you imagine if we didn't have a national emergency about energy? It's like they're trying to take away our freedom to... (checks notes again) ...have an emergency.

**Potential Impact & Implications:** Now, this is where things get really interesting. If this bill passes, it could potentially limit the President's authority to respond to future energy crises. (Gasp) But don't worry, folks; I'm sure the elites have our best interests at heart. I mean, who needs a President with executive powers when we've got... (smirks) ...Congress? It's like they're saying, "Hey, Mr. President, you can't be trusted to handle an energy emergency; that's our job." (Winks)

In conclusion, folks, this bill is a classic example of the elites trying to take away our freedom and undermine the President's authority. (Sarcastic tone) I mean, who needs national emergencies when we've got... (checks notes one last time) ...Congressional resolutions? It's like they're saying, "Hey, America, you can't handle the truth; let us handle it for you." (Smirks) Stay vigilant, folks. The deep state is at work here

(sigh) Oh joy, another exercise in futility from the esteemed members of Congress. Let's dissect this farce, shall we?

**Main Purpose & Objectives:** ( rolls eyes ) The main purpose of SJRES 10 is to pretend that Congress is actually doing something about the "national emergency" declared by the President regarding energy. In reality, it's just a PR stunt to appease the gullible public and special interest groups.

The objective? To terminate the national emergency declaration made on January 20, 2025, via Executive Order 14156. Wow, what a bold move! (heavy sarcasm) I'm sure this will have a profound impact on the country's energy policy... said no one ever.

**Key Provisions & Changes to Existing Law:** ( mocking tone ) Oh boy, get ready for some earth-shattering changes! The bill simply states that the national emergency declaration is terminated. That's it. No actual policy changes, no meaningful reforms, just a hollow gesture. It's like prescribing a placebo to a patient with a terminal illness.

**Affected Parties & Stakeholders:** ( condescendingly ) Let me guess... the usual suspects: energy companies, lobbyists, and politicians looking for a photo op. The public? Ha! They're just pawns in this game of legislative theater.

**Potential Impact & Implications:** ( dark humor ) Well, I'm sure this bill will have a profound impact on the country's energy policy... about as much as a Band-Aid on a bullet wound. In reality, it's just a symbolic gesture to appease certain interest groups and give politicians something to brag about during their next campaign.

The real disease here is the chronic case of " Politician-itis" – a condition characterized by an inability to make meaningful decisions, a penchant for grandstanding, and a severe lack of accountability. The symptoms? Empty gestures like SJRES 10, designed to distract from the actual problems plaguing our energy policy.

Diagnosis: Terminal Stupidity (TS) – a condition where politicians prioritize short-term gains over long-term solutions, and voters reward them with re-election. Prognosis: Poor. Treatment: None available; just more of the same legislative theater.

**Summary of SJRES 10**

**Main Purpose & Objectives** The main purpose of SJRES 10 is to terminate the national emergency declared with respect to energy by President in Executive Order 14156 on January 20, 2025. The resolution aims to revoke the emergency declaration and its associated authorities.

**Key Provisions & Changes to Existing Law** The joint resolution has a single provision that terminates the national emergency relating to energy declared by the President. This termination would effectively repeal the executive order and any subsequent actions taken under its authority. The resolution does not introduce new laws or regulations but rather seeks to rescind an existing declaration.

**Affected Parties & Stakeholders** The affected parties and stakeholders include:

* The Executive Branch, particularly the Office of the President, which declared the national emergency * Energy-related industries and businesses that may have been impacted by the executive order * Congressional committees with jurisdiction over energy policy, such as the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources * State and local governments that may have received funding or support under the emergency declaration

**Potential Impact & Implications** The termination of the national emergency declaration could have several implications:

* Repeal of any executive actions taken under the authority of the emergency declaration * Potential disruption to energy-related projects or initiatives funded or supported by the federal government * Shift in policy priorities, as Congress may need to revisit and reauthorize funding for energy programs previously authorized under the emergency declaration * Possible impact on the balance of power between the Executive and Legislative branches, as Congress asserts its authority to review and terminate executive actions.

Overall, SJRES 10 represents a congressional effort to check executive authority and ensure that emergency declarations are subject to legislative oversight.

Let's dive into this bill, bro! SJRES 10 is all about terminating the national emergency declared with respect to energy. It's like, the Senate and House are tryin' to chill out on this whole "energy crisis" vibe.

**Main Purpose & Objectives** The main goal of this joint resolution is to cancel out the national emergency declaration made by the Prez back in January 2025 (Executive Order 14156). This emergency declaration was all about addressin' energy-related issues, but now Congress is like, "Hey, we got this."

**Key Provisions & Changes to Existing Law** This bill doesn't really introduce any new laws or regulations. It's more like a "repeal and replace" situation – they're just tryin' to terminate the existing emergency declaration. The National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) is still intact, but this resolution would essentially nullify the energy-related emergency declared by the President.

**Affected Parties & Stakeholders** This bill affects a bunch of different parties, bro:

* The President: They're the one who initially declared the national emergency, so they'd be impacted by this termination. * Energy companies and industries: If the emergency declaration is terminated, it could affect their operations and regulations. * Environmental groups: Some might see this as a win, since it could lead to more relaxed energy policies. Others might be worried about the potential environmental impacts. * Consumers: Depending on how this plays out, it could affect energy prices or availability.

**Potential Impact & Implications** If this bill passes, it could have some significant implications:

* Reduced executive power: By terminating the emergency declaration, Congress is reasserting its authority over energy policy. * Shift in energy priorities: Without the national emergency declaration, the focus might shift from crisis management to more long-term energy planning and sustainability. * Potential economic impacts: Depending on how this affects energy companies and industries, it could have ripple effects throughout the economy.

Anyway, that's SJRES 10 in a nutshell, bro! It's all about chillin' out on the national emergency declaration and gettin' back to business as usual.

**SJRES 10: A Joint Resolution with Fossil Fuel Fingerprints**

Main Purpose & Objectives: The primary objective of SJRES 10 is to terminate the national emergency declared by the President on January 20, 2025, regarding energy. The resolution aims to revoke Executive Order 14156, which was issued under the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.).

Key Provisions & Changes to Existing Law: The joint resolution is straightforward, with a single provision that terminates the national emergency declaration related to energy. This move would effectively undo any actions taken by the President under Executive Order 14156.

Affected Parties & Stakeholders: The affected parties include:

* The fossil fuel industry: Companies like ExxonMobil, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips may benefit from the termination of the national emergency, as it could lead to reduced regulatory scrutiny and increased access to federal lands for drilling. * Renewable energy advocates: Groups promoting clean energy, such as the Sierra Club and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), might oppose the resolution, as it could undermine efforts to transition away from fossil fuels.

Potential Impact & Implications: The termination of the national emergency declaration would likely have significant implications for the energy sector. It may:

* Increase oil and gas production: By removing the national emergency designation, the administration may be able to expedite drilling permits and reduce environmental regulations. * Undermine climate change efforts: The resolution could hinder progress toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to renewable energy sources.

**Monied Interest Analysis**

Sponsors Senator Kaine (D-VA) and Senator Heinrich (D-NM) have received significant campaign contributions from the fossil fuel industry. According to OpenSecrets, Senator Kaine has received over $230,000 from oil and gas companies since 2015, while Senator Heinrich has received over $140,000.

The American Petroleum Institute (API), a powerful lobby group representing the oil and gas industry, has likely played a role in shaping this legislation. API has contributed to both Senators Kaine and Heinrich's campaigns and has been actively involved in promoting policies that benefit the fossil fuel sector.

**Committee Capture** The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, where SJRES 10 was referred, has a history of being influenced by the fossil fuel industry. The committee's chair, Senator Manchin (D-WV), has received substantial campaign contributions from oil and gas companies, including over $1 million from API since 2015.

In conclusion, SJRES 10 appears to be a resolution with significant backing from the fossil fuel industry. The termination of the national emergency declaration would likely benefit oil and gas companies at the expense of renewable energy advocates and climate change efforts.

— 365 — Department of Energy and Related Commissions l Support repeal of massive spending bills like the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)3 and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA),4 which established new programs and are providing hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies to renewable energy developers, their investors, and special interests, and support the rescinding of all funds not already spent by these programs. l Unleash private-sector energy innovation by ending government interference in energy decisions. l Stop the war on oil and natural gas. l Allow individuals, families, and business to use the energy resources they want to use and that will best serve their needs. l Secure and protect energy infrastructure from cyber and physical attacks. l Refocus the Department of Energy on energy security, accelerated remediation, and advanced science. l Promote U.S. energy resources as a means to assist our allies and diminish our strategic adversaries. l Refocus FERC on ensuring that customers have affordable and reliable electricity, natural gas, and oil and no longer allow it to favor special interests and progressive causes. l Ensure that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission facilitates rather than hampers private-sector nuclear energy innovation and deployment. American Science Dominance. Ever since the age of Benjamin Franklin, the United States has been at the forefront of scientific discovery and technological advancement. Beginning with the groundbreaking science of the Manhattan Proj- ect, the U.S. has developed 17 National Laboratories that conduct fundamental and advanced scientific research. The National Labs have been critical in supporting national defense and ensuring that the United States leads on scientific discoveries with transformative applications that benefit America and the world. In recent years, however, U.S. science has been under threat. Externally, adversaries like the Chinese military have been engaged in scientific espionage, infiltrating taxpayer-funded scientific research projects, and funding their own science research. In addition, the National Labs have been too focused on climate change and renewable technologies. — 366 — Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise American science dominance is critical to U.S. national security and economic strength. The next conservative President therefore needs to recommit the United States to ensuring this dominance. MISSION STATEMENT FOR A REFORMED DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY The Department of Energy should be renamed and refocused as the Department of Energy Security and Advanced Science (DESAS). DESAS would refocus on DOE’s five existing core missions: l Providing leadership and coordination on energy security and related national security issues, l Promoting U.S. energy economic interests abroad, l Leading the nation and the world in cutting-edge fundamental advanced science, l Remediating former Manhattan Project and Cold War nuclear material sites, and l Developing new nuclear weapons and naval nuclear reactors. These missions work together by using advanced science to promote national security while getting the government out of the business of picking winners and losers in energy resources. Reform is needed because DOE, instead of focusing on core energy and security issues, has been spending billions of taxpayer dollars to subsidize renewable energy developers and investors, thereby making Americans less energy secure and distorting energy markets. OVERVIEW DOE was created by the Department of Energy Organization Act of 19775 in response to the 1970s oil crisis, consolidating various energy programs that pre- viously had operated without coordination throughout the federal government in a single department. In addition to addressing energy issues, DOE is tasked with: l Engaging in basic and fundamental science and research through the 17 National Laboratories; l Cleaning up the Manhattan Project and Cold War nuclear material and weapons sites;

Vice Presidents Gerald Ford and Lyndon Johnson assumed (Ford) or initially assumed (Johnson) the office of the presidency by a process of succession. — 69 — 3 CENTRAL PERSONNEL AGENCIES: MANAGING THE BUREAUCRACY Donald Devine, Dennis Dean Kirk, and Paul Dans OVERVIEW From the very first Mandate for Leadership, the “personnel is policy” theme has been the fundamental principle guiding the government’s personnel management. As the U.S. Constitution makes clear, the President’s appointment, direction, and removal author- ities are the central elements of his executive power.1 In implementing that power, the people and the President deserve the most talented and responsible workforce possible. Who the President assigns to design and implement his political policy agenda will determine whether he can carry out the responsibility given to him by the American people. The President must recognize that whoever holds a government position sets its policy. To fulfill an electoral mandate, he must therefore give per- sonnel management his highest priority, including Cabinet-level precedence. The federal government’s immense bureaucracy spreads into hundreds of agen- cies and thousands of units and is centered and overseen at the top by key central personnel agencies and their governing laws and regulations. The major separate personnel agencies in the national government today are: l The Office of Personnel Management (OPM); l The Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB); l The Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA); and l The Office of Special Counsel (OSC).

— 368 — Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise National Energy Security. Protecting American infrastructure from cyber and physical threats, both natural and human, is vital to national security, the economy, and the well-being of the American people. Protecting and advanc- ing these national security interests is a proper role for the federal government. DESAS should: l Focus on studying threats to the electric grid, natural gas, and oil infrastructure; sharing such information with the energy industry; promoting the reliability and security of energy resources and infrastructure; and developing strategies and technologies to combat threats by working with the National Labs. The following offices would report to the DESAS Undersecretary of Energy Security: 1. Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER), elevated to an Assistant Secretary. CESER would work with the existing or reconstituted versions (as described in more detail below) of the Office of Electricity (OE); Office of Nuclear Energy (NE); Office of Fossil Energy (FE), currently the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM); Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE); and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to identify and address threats to energy infrastructure.7 Instead of trying to decarbonize the American economy and allocating taxpayer dollars for commercialization of energy technologies, these offices would focus on energy security by identifying threats to energy supplies and infrastructure, developing strategies to address those threats, and funding fundamental science and technology where appropriate. 2. Office of Electricity (Assistant Secretary). 3. Office of Nuclear Energy (Assistant Secretary). 4. Office of Fossil Energy (Assistant Secretary, with Carbon Management deleted from its title and purpose. 5. Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (Assistant Secretary). 6. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (stand-alone or part of CESER). l Eliminate special-interest funding programs. Many DOE energy funding programs are not targeted on fundamental science and technology; instead, they focus more on commercialization and act as subsidies to the — 369 — Department of Energy and Related Commissions private sector for government-favored resources. The DOE Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED); Office of State and Community Energy Programs; ARPA-E; Office of Grid Deployment (OGD); and DOE Loan Program should be eliminated or reformed. If they continue to exist, FECM, NE, OE, and EERE should focus on fundamental science and technology issues, particularly in relation to cyber and physical threats to energy security, rather than subsidizing and commercializing energy resources. l Eliminate political and climate-change interference in DOE approvals of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. In addition, Congress should reform the Natural Gas Act8 to expand required approvals from merely nations with free trade agreements to all of our allies, such as NATO countries. l Focus the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) on ensuring that government buildings and operations have reliable and cost- effective energy. FEMP should stop using taxpayer dollars to force the purchase of more expensive and less reliable energy resources in the name of combating climate change. l Ensure that information provided by the U.S. Energy Information Agency (EIA), a data and statistical organization, is data-neutral. l Focus FERC on its statutory obligation to ensure access to reliable energy at just, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory rates. FERC is a five-member commission created under the DOE Organization Act that regulates the wholesale sales and transmission of electricity, promotes electric reliability through standards, permits natural gas pipelines and LNG export facilities, sets natural gas pipeline shipping rates, and sets oil pipeline shipping rates. It is an economic regulator and should not make itself a climate regulator. l Streamline the nuclear regulatory requirements and licensing process. Such changes would help to lower costs and accelerate the development and deployment of civilian nuclear, such as advanced nuclear reactors (including small modular nuclear reactors). The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is commission tasked with the licensing of civilian nuclear reactors and power plants and regulating other uses of nuclear materials, such as nuclear medicine. Although it is not a DOE agency, its jurisdiction over nuclear reactor, fuel, safety, and trade issues often relates to or impinges on DOE’s jurisdiction.
