Congress gave presidents power over tariffs. They could aways take it back

cnn.com/2025/04/08/politics/tariffs-trump-power-constitution-congress/index.html

While Trump is claiming broad legal authority to remake the world economy, it’s not at all what the Constitution’s authors envisioned. For the first time during Trump’s second term there is some murmur of blowback from Republicans on Capitol Hill — some of whom want to take some authority away from the president. At least one conservative group is challenging Trump’s authority in court.

Seven Republican senators signed on to a bipartisan bill that would place a check on the tariff authority Congress has given to presidents over the course of decades, which Trump is now using in an unprecedented way.

“It’s time that Congress restores its authorities here,” Bacon said on CBS News over the weekend. “We gave some of that power to the executive branch, and I think in hindsight, that was a mistake.”

Article I, Section 8, Clause 1:

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States; . . .

Why don't Americans just call their congresspeople and stop this madness? Trump is way out of line. It seems like the US Constitution is quite clear on this matter. Congress only let presidents control tariff policy after income tax became the primary source of revenue in 1913. If Trump wants to make tariffs a major source of revenue again, then Congress should obviously have complete control of tariffs the way it used to. Congress still determines all other federal taxation within the US. This entire crisis is based on bullshit that could be stopped by a single session of the US Congress. The only reason it hasn't been stopped is because Republicans fear the MIGA cult. I wonder how many butthurt Trumpkins have "miga" in their word filter at this point.

You're right. We should all kneel down and be good little slaves for China and Europe.

This just makes us hate you more. You aren't the same people who landed on the Moon. You are retarded degenerates who don't deserve to lead the free world. I bet you would be pissed if you could read the Constitution, but unfortunately for you it's written in American English, not Mexican Spanish. Don't forget to have Siri read this post to you on your financed iPhone you fucktard.

You are a fucking IDIOT. The point is that you are kneeling down to be a good little goy to TRUMP, faggot. He is not your king. He cannot pass tariffs. That's Congress' job according to your own fucking constitution.

they're trying to reverse-cia us, because they ALL know how much their economy and lifestyle depends on unfair trade with us

I'm retarded. I want to be ruled by a tyrant, not a body of representatives. I wish I could polish Trump's crown with the finest kosher fabrics made in the Occupied West Bank. Did I mention how much I love rabbi Yeshua ben Yosef yet?

you aren't the leafs that lead to the geneva checklist being created.
you aren't even a leaf, joydeep.

I am in fact an Old Stock leaf who is sad to see the obese, corn syrup fed state of your rotting brain. You are in full submission to a kosher Tyrant just to own the libs. Trump doesn't have the right to pass taxes by fiat.

And I'm saying I agree with you that America should kneel and be good chattle for you and the rest of the world.

Why are you rotting of the American dogs?
Let them keep on this track
China is resilient
So will Canada form an alliance with us as well?

old stock? so you immigrated in the 1980s?

If we kneel to Trump that means that foreigners who I've never met aren't the boss of me.

More like 1780s faggot.

destroys globohomo

NOOOOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT

Trump doesn't have the right to do this. If you understood anything about rights you would care, but you don't since you love living under despotism. Americans are becoming Chinese lel.

You haven't done shit you fucking retard. Trump never set up the infrastructure necessary to reduce dependence on China. All he did was rugpull the entire US economy.
He should've been building strong trade ties with his allies and starting initiatives to rebuild the manufacturing base in the US before he started this tariff bullshit. He did none of the hard part and instead randomly decided to pick a fight with China.

lol nah

They need house and senate to sign something directly stopping his use.

Possible, but spare sensationalism until you’ve got the count. Republicans are a majority.
I also think this might need to originate in the House, and so Senate passing is entirely for show and a waste of my time to publish.

I WANT Amerimutts to be slaves, goy. I fucking hate Pmurt, and I want him gone so the mutts can be more effectively subdued. I don't know what is so hard about that for you to understand, maplenigger.

It's also says in the constitution that money was supposed to be minted silver or gold.

tariff bullshit.

He doesn't have the legal right to pass tariffs by fiat. He is acting like a dictator, just like FDR or Lincoln. Remember when Anon Babble used to oppose tyranny? I guess you'll lick anyone's boot as long as the boot goes onto the throat of a Muslim nigger tranny eventually.

But you said the congress gave them power
So he has the right to do this

cool it with the anti-semitic remarks

I'm a loser so I want to watch my country burn.

They only did that because tariffs became like less than 1% of government revenue, and it was never really legal, dumbass. You're a Chink. Don't lecture me on what an English language document says, you fucking faggot. Go suck on a metal chop stick.

another 22 months until the midterms

this hasn't been my country since I've been alive

Not my country. I'm just living here to leech their resources. I'll move once this shithole implodes.

Oh so you're actually starting to understand why debasing the currency and having an imperial presidency are bad ideas? Is that old Anon Babble poking through the writhing mass of Mestizo fascism?

Suck it up you pathetic leaf, no one's coming to save you from playing fair.

I'm poor so a dictatorship is actually cool.

My mom shit me out in the ER as an anchor baby so now I hate Americans.

I want to have a king to own the foreign libs.

So the congress did something illegal?
What are you even rambling about
This is why we take over your country too
You people are dumb

Cope, Maple golem. Your faggot country is already subverted and will collapse, too, and I can't fucking wait.

So the congress did something illegal?

Yes. Congress can't just "delegate" its duties to the president. That's bullshit.

I love tyranny because I am a nu-Yank mutt who is brown like poo poo pee pee. Trump is like Bolivar but gayer, and that is why me gusta.

end the fed
bring back tariffs
income tax banned
fuck you, we're Ahmish farmers
not your spooky assasin
