to overturn an emergency declaration. Seems like since they gave a mechanism to overturn a declaration, and didn't define what could or couldn't be an emergency, the Prez has pretty broad latitude to determine what he thinks is an emergency.
If there was an intent to define out the outset what a President could declare as an emergency, Congress did a poor job because they didn't define it
