Florida Rep. Greg Steube and Byron Donalds cosponsored a bill that would bar the president from declaring a climate emergency.

The bill, dubbed the “Real Emergencies Act’s , would bar US presidents from declaring an emergency using three federal laws that give the executive branch additional powers in times of crisis.

Sponsors of the bill claim declaring a “false emergency” would weaken national security and jeopardize valuable fossil fuel interests.

Congressman Byron Donalds received more than $54,000 in oil and gas donations in the three years following his first election to Congress in 2000 .

Donalds has also received $ 25,000 from Koch Industries , a petrochemical empire founded by billionaires Charles and David Koch .

The energy and natural resources sector contributed $ 77,155 to Donalds , making it the seventh largest industry sector to donate to him.
