Thanks to Sundance for turning us on to this.

Congress has ceded, through law, almost all trade and tariff power to the POTUS.

If Trump decides it's a "National Emergency", he can impose a 50% tariff on any and every product entering the US.

This bill by Mike Lee will not even receive 50% of the Republican caucus.

At the risk of being attacked by 80% of people on this site, I’m going to say it: Mike Lee is NO RINO.

If Mike Lee isn’t a conservative, please name someone who is...

(or maybe we’re beyond “conservativism” and have moved on to a Roosevelt-esque “nationalism”.)

At any rate, Obamba is gone in two days!!

Where was Lee on this effort to “transfer power from the Executive to the Legislative” before Trump came along? Lee has turned out to be a Rubio-type disappointment.
