No, but I voted for the current President, who campaigned on said measures. I knew what his plan was prior to casting my vote for him. President Trump is just delivering on his campaign promises. And I would guess any change to tariffs coming from congress is subject to the 60 vote cloture Senate rules and as such will die on the vine there. So, I support the President’s attempt to accomplish what the do-nothing Congress won’t.

Congress' refusal -- or inability -- to do something you want done doesn't give the President the authority to do this by fiat.

It's baffling how something so fundamental to constitutional law is a mystery to so many people here on THIS website.

But this shouldn't be a surprise to me. I learned long ago that too many so-called "constitutional conservatives" forget all about this until it's a DEMOCRAT in the White House trying to usurp the role of Congress.
