Summary
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) plans to introduce a bill allowing Congress to block presidential tariffs, marking a rare GOP split with Trump amid market fallout.
His bill mirrors the Senate’s bipartisan Trade Review Act, requiring the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of new tariffs and gain approval within 60 days or face expiration.
With Trump able to veto and Republicans controlling Congress, passage is unlikely.
Meanwhile, House Democrats aim to force a vote ending Trump’s tariff-related national emergency, increasing pressure on vulnerable Republicans.
Oh, like he was “required” to do before cutting USAID? Cool.
Guess who would need to sign this bill to make it law. This republicans playing politics hoping voters won’t notice they aren’t doing jack shit to stop these tariffs. I hope they all burn and republican lose all their seats.
