How often courts cite this section
Court decisions citing this, by year.Markers show enactment, consequential amendments, and circuit splits over this section — watch for a citation surge after a change or a disagreement. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.
Except as provided in sections 7203 and 7204 of this title and notwithstanding any other provision of law, the President may not impose a unilateral agricultural sanction or unilateral medical sanction against a foreign country or foreign entity, unless—
(1) not later than 60 days before the sanction is proposed to be imposed, the President submits a report to Congress that—
(A) describes the activity proposed to be prohibited, restricted, or conditioned; and
(B) describes the actions by the foreign country or foreign entity that justify the sanction; and
(2) there is enacted into law a joint resolution stating the approval of Congress for the report submitted under paragraph (1).
The President shall terminate any unilateral agricultural sanction or unilateral medical sanction that is in effect as of October 28, 2000.
