Authority to do what? Declare a rain storm and emergency and declare martial law? What authority do you think he has under what statute? It seems like nearly the entirety of the judicial bench disagrees with you. Poor poor Donnie boy, always such a victim
Just because congress does not to take an action doesn’t empower the president to do so. Congress also didn’t spill all our military intel to China, but this doesn’t make it ok for the president to do so. Authority comes from the law and no other place.
Not what I said... I said the U.S. Congress did not have the votes to take the tarfits power away from Trump.
The authority to place tariffs on nations in the name of national security... It's a broad power that several other presidents have used at their won discretion.
There are only two branches of government that control the inner working of our national duties. The president has broad powers to place tariffs on other nations in the name of national security. If the Congress doesn't act (vote) to stop the POTUS then the POTUS has no obstacles to fulfill his duties and the President. This has NOTHING to do with the judicial Branch of the government. These district judges are just interfering with the Executive Branch of government.
Wrong. Congress has the inherent tariff powers, not the President. Congress chose to grant the President a limited amount of Congressional tariff powers but Trump is clearly trying to exercise powers beyond that which was granted.
Continuing to expose your civics ineptitude. You do not understand the three equal branches of government. You do not understand the checks and balances. You do not understand the concept of a limited delegation of power. This is just getting embarrassing for you.
What power gives potus right to set tariff? Potus cannot assume tariff authority. That belongs to congress. He declared a non existent emergency in an illegal power grab. You don't seem to understand that
It does belong to Congress, and they have allowed the President to make these trade deals... just like in 2017. And other POTUS' in the past have done trade deals and tariffs have been levied on other nations by past Presidents. It's the way it's been for a very long time. You've heard of the term dumping, right?
Yeah, if China gets the most advanced chips they can make weapons of mass destruction better and far more dangerous to us here and the rest of the world. There is NOTHING imaginary about the China threat.
Why would Trump appoint rogue judges? Does this mean we should vote against his nominees moving forward?
It looks like Congress has given the President responsibility for tariffs through a series of laws they have passed in the past. How Congress delegates its tariff powers to the president | Constitution Center
sector based tariffs that meet specific criteria yes. broad based give me a new golf course or you get 35% tariffs not so much. it is why GS came out and said the tariff focus will now shift to sector based tariffs and challenges justifying them will begin bottom line..uncertainty. uncertainty is expensive and we all pay for it. all this with no real plan other than look at me, im the boss, kiss my ring again, congress ceding authority to the executive branch is good for none of us, regardless of party
Supreme Court allows Trump to revoke legal status of 500,000 immigrants Another SCOTUS victory for Trump, overturning a District Court judge in Massachusetts. Looks like a 7-2 ruling as well.
Wow, it seems like that guy sure doesn't like legal immigrants, since he is trying to get rid of that whole group of hundreds of thousands of them. So can we dispose of the whole charade about how Republicans want legal immigrants now?
