The problem is that the judge is ruling that Trump cannot impost any tariffs.It’s not really about tariffs, it’s about these judges stopping Trump
It’s about the hundreds of district court rulings against Trump. Everything from Trump laying off fed employees to deporting illegals to trump tying to stop wasteful foreign aid to terrorist.
Here’s what Grok says about tariffs
The U.S. President has the authority to levy tariffs under certain conditions, primarily through powers delegated by Congress in various trade laws. However, this authority is not absolute and is subject to legal and procedural constraints. Here’s a concise overview based on current understanding:
- **Statutory Authority**: The President can impose tariffs under laws like:
- **Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962**, which allows tariffs for national security reasons (e.g., Trump’s tariffs on steel and aluminum in 201
.
- **Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974**, which permits tariffs to address unfair trade practices by foreign nations (e.g., tariffs on China for intellectual property violations).
- **International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)**, which grants broad authority to regulate commerce during a national emergency, though its use for tariffs is less common and more controversial.
- **Trade Promotion Authority (TPA)** and other trade agreements, which allow the President to negotiate and adjust tariffs within limits set by Congress.
- **Congressional Oversight**: While Congress has delegated some tariff authority, it retains the constitutional power to regulate commerce (Article I, Section . Congress can override or limit presidential tariffs through legislation, though this requires sufficient votes to overcome a potential veto.
- **Judicial Review**: Presidential tariffs can be challenged in court if they exceed statutory authority or violate constitutional principles. For example, courts have upheld tariffs under Section 232 but have also ruled against overreaches, like in cases involving misuse of emergency powers.
- **Limitations**: The President cannot unilaterally impose tariffs without a legal basis (e.g., national security, trade violations). Arbitrary or blanket tariffs could face legal challenges or congressional pushback. Additionally, international trade agreements like the WTO or USMCA impose obligations that may limit tariff actions.
It’s the fault of congress. They don’t do their job.
