G.1(a). Judicial Review

Any time a declaration has been renewed at least twice, the Supreme Court is required to review any additional renewals for constitutionality without the need for case or controversy. Without a ruling expressly authorizing such renewals, no renewal can be put into place by Congress, and the emergency ends on or before the end of the current emergency authorization.

This sub-clause is the final lock on the framework of congressional emergency powers. Congress has up to 180 days (the initial 60-day period, plus two renewals) without other oversight. Any extension beyond that point requires a Supreme Court order affirming that the constitutional standards for invoking emergency powers remain satisfied.
