If we win the house (maybe senate as well) Can we put the stop to TSF's tariff BULLSHIT?

(22,623 posts)Trump is using laws on the books that he claims delegate authority to the executive branch to levy tariffs under certain conditions, which he claims exist.
To end that, those laws would have to be repealed, and for that to happen they would have to override his veto.
They could impeach him for misusing his authority to levy tariffs, but otherwise, it is up to the courts to block him.

(31,778 posts)the Supreme Court just ruled that Krasnov's use of that law on the book was illegal.
We don't need Congress to do anything except to do its job as prescribed in the Constitution.

(22,623 posts)If I can get a clear understanding of the ruling from Canadian media, you should be able to also.
SCOTUS ruled that IEEPA didnt permit a president to levy tariffs under any conditions, despite the fake fentanyl emergency Trump claimed.
Now he is invoking other laws with other conditions that will be litigated, but were not covered by yesterdays ruling - only IEEPA was.
Other than repealing laws giving a president tariff authority or impeachment, Im not sure what you mean by Congress doing its job.
