US court blocks Trump from imposing the bulk of his tariffs​

So who runs your country then?

American exporters can be hit with unlimited tariffs and non-tariff barriers and must just accept it?

The courts weren't elected. Trump ran on tariffs and was elected on them.

The courts don't seem interested in protecting Americas national security.

You really don't understand the Constitution.

Trump was not elected on tariffs. American companies are not hit with unlimited tariffs. The constiturion creates 3 co equal branches of government . That's our system of checks and balances. The judicial can check the president and this is what has happened. The president can't set tariffs to begin with unless there is a national security issue,

Constitutional Basis for Tariff Authority​

Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution vests the power to lay and collect tariffs with Congress. The Founding Fathers intended for legislative oversight on taxation, tariffs, and related financial matters, viewing tariffs as strategic levers to be used with caution and prudence.

Later acts, such as the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and the Trade Act of 1974, further evolved this delegated authority. These allowed the President to act on national security concerns through tariffs or respond to unfair foreign trade practices. However, this delegation is not unchecked. For instance, Section 232 of the 1962 Act enables the President to impose tariffs if imports threaten national security, but this is bounded by specific findings and processes.

The Supreme Court has emphasized that any delegation of power must include an “intelligible principle” to direct and limit the President’s use of this authority. While the President can negotiate and respond to immediate threats, the imposition of generalized tariffs still requires congressional approval, reinforcing the separation of powers fundamental to our constitutional republic.

This is why you need to just be quiet.

Yep. Because I know it better than you no matter how much you follow me around.

You first.

Lmao. My abs haven't gotten this much of a workout in a very long time. You know absolutely nothing about the Constitution.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Congress literally gave its power to regulate tariffs away. IM2 can't seem to grasp that.

 

[excalibur]

They can kick rocks, k? Article II powers give the president the authority to set foreign policy.
Immigration, trade, alliances, all that. Any other branch of government really has no Constitutional right to inhibit the president
in doing that.
Just no.

Congress gave the President the authority.

That is why there was a proposed bill to revoke that authority. The court is clueless.

 

[IM2]

You first.

You need to quit getting your information from Twitter.

The Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and the Trade Act of 1974 continued this trend, adding provisions like Section 232 and Section 301, which allowed the President to impose tariffs in response to national security threats or unfair trade practices. However, these powers were still subject to specific findings and justifications, ensuring that executive actions were neither arbitrary nor unrestricted.

That's because Congress didn't do what you claim.

You should be grateful....this court may have just saved Trump from committing political suicide with his insane tariffs.

Ahh boldface.

That's just great. It still doesn't make it any less incorrect.

The unfair trade policies were other countries tarriffing us, while we sat by and didn't impose any on them.

Now, take it up with Congress. If you want them to exercise their power, write your congressman. Otherwise, deal with the fact that Congress gave the president the power he's using now.

 

[TemplarKormac]

That's because Congress didn't do what you claim.

They did.

Let's review.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

The leftists here can get bent.

• Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232), allows the President to impose tariffs or other trade restrictions for national security reasons.
• Trade Act of 1974 (Section 301), permits the President to impose tariffs to address unfair trade practices by foreign nations.
• International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977, grants the President authority to impose tariffs during national emergencies.

And how do Trump's tariffs meet the conditions in these laws, simp?

They do not....no matter how much you cry about it.

Blanket tariffs for no reason other than Trump is ******* crazy and plays with his own feces is not a legitimate reason for him to implement his tariffs.

What is a national emergency? Do these acts define national emergency? We've had these trade deficits the past 30 or 40 years, so that's nothing new?

This is a pretty damn serious thing.... You are talking about breaking every single trade agreement the Senate has ratified and presidents have signed with the foreign nation's govt and leaders signing....this is breaking more than a handshake, for goodness sake....all businesses worldwide and in our nation, can run their business by having the stability of these signed and ratified trade agreements. Without them, is chaos...business busting!

To arbitrarily claim this is some kind of National Trade emergency that is so big and so urgent that the president can use this emergency power to make every single ratified trade agreement NULL AND VOID, because of a simple trade deficit, IS NOT AN URGENT NATIONAL EMERGENCY.... imo.

 

[TemplarKormac]

And just in case IM2 wants to chime in again:

 

[excalibur]

It's not the Courts who are overstepping their authority. It's Donald J. Trump.

He never did have the authority to set tariffs. Especially given you have trade deals with all of these nations.

Yeah, he does.

The International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA).
