The bill would require Congress to review and approve certain decisions made by the President regarding sanctions against Russia, giving lawmakers more oversight over how these economic penalties are enforced or changed. Currently, the President has significant power to modify or lift sanctions without extensive congressional input, but this measure would shift some of that authority to require legislative approval. This affects how the U.S. government manages its relationship with Russia through economic pressure and trade restrictions.
