A federal appellate court ruled Donald Trump's tariffs unconstitutional, stating they exceeded his authority under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Despite the ruling, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit temporarily stayed the decision and scheduled arguments for June 9. The article argues Trump's actions are unconstitutional, as only Congress has the power to impose tariffs. It critiques Trump's reliance on executive actions instead of legislative approval, suggesting a need for better understanding of governmental processes. Interestingly, even members of Trump's own party seem relieved by the court's intervention.
It's always annoying to see a federal court continue to treat Trump like a normal president, giving him the benefits of delay from appellate reviews.
The Constitution grants Congress the exclusive power to impose tariffs, clearly indicating Trump’s actions exceed his executive authority.
Trump's attempts to use executive power for actions that require legislative approval showcase a fundamental misunderstanding of government functionalities.
Republicans in Trump's party are thankful the courts intervened to halt these unconstitutional tariffs that exceed his presidential powers.
