Vance Casts Tiebreaker to Block Senate Resolution Revoking Trump Trade Emergency

Vice President JD Vance cast a 50-49 tiebreaking vote on April 30, 2025, to table Sen. Ron Wyden's resolution to rescind President Trump's IEEPA national emergency declaration on trade. Congress may overturn a presidential emergency declaration by joint resolution under the National Emergencies Act; Vance's tiebreaker blocked the resolution, preserving the administration's IEEPA-based tariff authority pending resolution of the parallel legal challenge before the Court of International Trade.
