  • Enacted
This legislative proposal, known as the Defending American Jobs and Affordable Energy Act of 2025 , aims to nullify several executive orders issued on January 20, 2025. Specifically, it mandates that four designated executive orders will cease to have any legal force or effect immediately upon the bill's enactment. The repealed executive orders cover critical areas such as "Unleashing American Energy," "Putting America First in International Environmental Agreements," "Declaring a National Energy Emergency," and the "Temporary Withdrawal of All Areas on the Outer Continental Shelf from Offshore Wind Leasing." Furthermore, the bill explicitly prohibits the use of any federal funds for the implementation, administration, enforcement, or execution of these now-defunct executive orders.
