      Anyone know what legal authority POTUS is using to impose these tariffs? Constitution gives Congress power to regulate trade. Steel and aluminum tariffs arguably fit under national security exemption. But all these China tariffs don’t. Am I missing something?

      Does the executive have legal authority to impose tariffs for economic reasons--or anything besides national security? If not, the legislature is actively forfeiting power. Congress should pass a law blocking Trump's tariffs. Immediately. If not, companies hurt by it should sue.

          Here it is, the law giving POTUS the power to impose tariffs: Trade Act 1974, Section 301 (hat tip @becauseofyomama) The language is expansive: "unjustifiable or unreasonable [trade actions] which burden or restrict United States commerce." Who determines "unreasonable"? POTUS.pic.twitter.com/59toFvm5yC

          Congress passed the Trade Act to give the president power to react quickly to another country's action. But that's a norm. Trump is using it to fight well-established practices. The text doesn't say he can't.

          Congress forfeited trade power to the executive in 1974, but doesn't have to roll over now. The Constitution isn't subtle. Article I gives Congress power “to regulate commerce with foreign nations." Congress could pass a law blocking Trump's tariffs. They're choosing not to (END)

          "legislature is actively forfeiting power" is the theme song for congress (gop). when @Lin_Manuel is feeling better, he can write the music so it hurts less to witness.
