Summary
At least a dozen House Republicans are considering backing Rep. Don Bacon’s (R-Neb.) bill to limit presidential power over tariffs, directly challenging Trump, who has threatened a veto.
The bill would require congressional approval for tariffs to last beyond 40 days and allow Congress to repeal them anytime.
Senators from both parties support a companion bill.
Some GOP lawmakers cite harm to farmers and constitutional oversight duties as reasons to support the measure, though others hesitate due to Trump’s influence and veto warning.
I think the underestimate his ability to make a brand new tariff every 39 days. Dial it up or down a percentage point. He already discovered tariffs go above 💯
this is just a “planned” bill right now, so hopefully they’ll get to that.
