If the court was doing their job they would have ruled this unconstitutional in the first place. A tariff is a tax, the executive explicitly does not get that power
Congress has authorized the president through legislation to levy certain tariffs in specific situations, but none of those situations apply here.
If they give a fuck about maintaining their power, pass a new law nullifying those specific situation capabilities.
This Canada thing seems like political maneuvering. If Dems vote to gut healthcare for 40M americans as a result, congrats, you’ve now seen how “bipartisan compromise” results in fucking over average American working class.
And then what? The courts have no enforcement arm. I believe your founding fathers didn’t see how corrupt we would become.
Think about how mentally ill this entire scenario is for a second… Congress voted to deny king fascist from doing something he never possessed the ability to do in the first place. Like, his executive orders about tariffs are supposed to be completely ignored, yet businesses and the government have been illegally collecting tariffs anyway, because a pathological liar lied and declared a “national emergency”.
The USA is a lawless, failed state ass, corporate klepto dictatorship masquerading as “democracy”…
*meme Always has been…
Take away his ability to implement tariffs at all. That should be up to Congress along with things like declaring war.
And make “war in everything but name” considered war too.
Fuck yes!
But this is not forgotten and Trump is definitely not going to let this stand.
Also people should face consequences for unconstitutionally doing this.
While the resolutions won’t ultimately take effect, they have proven to be an effective way for Democrats to expose cracks between the president’s trade policy and Republican senators who have traditionally supported free trade arguments.
… However, House Republicans have passed new rules that allow leaders to prevent such resolutions from getting a vote in that chamber, and Trump could veto the legislation even if it did clear Congress.
ELI5: How can they vote on shit when the government is shut down? Help me out here.
Only the house is down. The only reason the house is down is so they can avoid swearing in Adelita Grijalva and having to vote on Epstein stuff. House GOP are huge sore losing cowards.
The government shutdown doesn’t interfere with either house or senate doing business.
He can literally veto the damn thing. Nothing changes unless he’s gone.
