Oops!!! Trump Does Not Have the Authority to Unilaterally Impose Tariffs

A US federal court has blocked President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs, in a major blow to a key part of his economic policies.
The Court of International Trade ruled that an emergency law invoked by the White House does not give the president unilateral authority to impose tariffs on nearly every country.
The Manhattan-based court said the US Constitution gives Congress exclusive powers to regulate commerce with other nations and this is not superseded by the president's remit to safeguard the economy.

Federal judges and foolish people in positions in power keep trying to supersede the presidents own powers.

This don’t not make it factual. “We are the opposition and we do not like that the party we are against is doing something we are not in control of…”

They can keep trying. The will of the people voted for this. And going against the people is only continually ruining the reputation of the left. And then they get upset when things keep getting overturned both by the will of the people. So good luck to them. Majority support is still overwhelmingly in support of the president. And surprisingly continuing to grow as the left continues to make these stupid mistakes showcasing their abuses of power.

When signing executive orders which Trump is doing. They are executive. Meaning they are LAW. For the term residing over his presidency. They may not be passed as amended laws within government and can be overturned with executive orders implemented by the next president. But Congress can nor senate can easily turnover an executive order. The most they can do is vote against it from being a permanent law.

I know people like you are slow and don’t understand the various laws so here’s a small snippet and breakdown showcasing his authority on the matter. And this is without executive orders being attached.


And he has already declared our country in a state of national emergency. To protect us from all powers both foreign and domestic. So yes. He has the authority to do so, especially when combined with the executive orders he has signed.

The problem is you leftist reek so much of desperation and cope. You gobble up any little bit of slop thrown your way, no matter how nonsensical it may be.

@trollslayer Lets not make it personal. Everyone has a right to an opinion. How they form and justify that opinion is what really defines them.. Personally I go with doing your research from various sources and thinking it through.😷

Trump does not have the authority to do lots of what he does or wants to do, as far as I can see -- but if hew ignores the courts and orders his cronies to go ahead, what happens?

@ChipmunkErnie The answer to that is obvious.. He knows he can do it and maybe go further next time. He can appeal this decision twice, which he probably will. And durung that time few people are going to risk importing anything they dont have to. One interesting point was Steven millers statement condemning the courts ruling. This does hint that he is fine with the economy tanking.. I have stated elsewhere that in my view chaos and discontent and good for his agenda.😷

Article II says he does. No where in the constitution does it grant executive powers to the judicial branch . This is just libs being obstructionist. SCOTUS is going to earn their overtime pay .

@MoveAlong wrong O , The appeals court has already reversed that ridiculous ruling .

@TexChik The ruling was not reversed. it was temporarly paused pending appeals.
