Nonsense, you presume both Congress and the ITC, which is a far less significant venue than you imply, will on a bi-partisan basis, Democrat and Republican, bend to the will of Trump. I acknowledge that Trump might be more successful in attempts to subvert our system of governance than Obama, but IMO that's the wrong standard.

I presume you and Donald intend to amend the Constitution, eliminating Article 1 Section 8. Are there other prerogatives of Congress you wish to eliminate? Will Donald somehow be able to amend the Constitution without the engagement of the Congress and the several states?

You shouldn't take Donald's puffery too seriously, most of it has no factual basis of implementation in our Constitutional system. And you really make him sound like Obama and FDR. Of course FDR's solution for the Supreme Court would have been constitutional if he'd had a more pliant Congress.

wrong again.

Congress has already passed the laws. The Tariff Act of 1970 and the Trade Act of 1974 already exist. If Congress wants to stop a President from enforcing these laws, they need to pass a repeal by a veto proof majority.

The Chinese tire case shows exactly what the ITC can do when they get off their asses and actually enforce the law.
