The executive action we have here has its origin in the individual will of the president and represents a lawless exercise of authority. With all its shortcomings, delays and drawbacks, people have not discovered any technology to preserve free government for a long time, except that the executive is under the law and the law is made by parliamentary deliberations. The governor has the power to declare a state of emergency. As soon as possible, the Governor shall inform the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Speaker of the Senate of the imminent issuance of emergency orders under this article and shall provide a description of such orders. The court has the same power to declare a state of emergency by simultaneous decision of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The legislature may terminate a state of emergency or an emergency order issued under it with a majority vote of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The majority for this vote shall be composed of a majority of the members present and voting in each Chamber, acting separately. The state of emergency shall end by a majority of the votes of both Chambers in accordance with this subparagraph; provided, however, that such a vote does not prevent the Governor from declaring a new state of emergency for other circumstances in accordance with paragraph I of this section. Ninety days after the day of the declaration of the state of emergency, and every 90 days thereafter, the Governor shall convene a joint session of the Court and deliver a speech therein and provide a written copy of the address to all members of both Chambers within five working days.

In this joint session, the legislature votes on whether the state of emergency should be ended by simultaneous decision-making, which acts separately by a simple majority of both chambers. 2021 H.B. 2 > N.H.
