"If passed, the Trade Review Act of 2025 would require the president to notify lawmakers of an imposition or increase in tariffs within 48 hours, explaining the reasoning and providing analysis of the impact on American businesses and consumers.
Congress would need to pass a joint resolution of approval for the new tariffs within 60 days or the additional taxes would expire, and it would also be able to end the tariffs at any time with a resolution of disapproval.
"Trade wars can be as devastating, which is why the Founding Fathers gave Congress the clear Constitutional authority over war and trade," Cantwell wrote in the release.
"This bill reasserts Congress's role over trade policy to ensure rules-based trade policies are transparent, consistent, and benefit the American public."
"Arbitrarily tariffs, particularly on our allies, damage U.S. export opportunities and raise prices for American consumers and businesses," the Washington state Democrat added."

Yeah, I do agree.
The lawfaremedia.org citation aside.
imo, Pres Trump has indicated in his actions, that he seems to want to reduce the "equal" aspect of the Constitutional statement of the three branches of our government to have the Executive Branch be supreme.
At this point, in my view, it will be up to the Supreme Court to decide.

I hope this happens although glancing at Et Al's #2 doesn't give me confidence.

@#6 ... I hope this happens ...
As do I.
And, welcome back.
But your other trolling aliases seem to have had a different approach in your current alias' absence.

OK I know how to settle this. Make the law to apply the same tariffs on the same products that other countries charge us.

You all should realize that the unequal tariffs we experience, the narrow exceptions for select companies etc., are all artifacts of self-dealing by our crooked af reps and their cadre of perma-state appointees and lobbyists.

Why?
How would that benefit you or I?
Tariffs are a good way to hurt yourself.

Is that the reason the entire world uses them against US? They want to hurt themselves?

-Of course Congress want 'more power'. They can't peddle the influence without the power. It's sort of their own fault for paying themselves only 174K+tip. Most can make more than that on just one selfdeal.

Trump is stupid: a pile of lead or more likely dumb excrement.
You admire him. You're worse.
