Congress could end this tariff nightmare, not tomorrow, but right now.
Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution:
“The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises…”
Tariffs are a tax on exports. Keyword: TAX.
It's Congress' job! Trump tariffs are illegal.

Also, this Russian-Nazi GOP party is not going to stop willingly. They *could* but they *won't*.
Congress could vote right now to reclaim the power and revoke the tariffs.
This very second.
I'd suspect if so it would require 66% vote, at least.
You're saying theoretically they could. I'd agree, but in reality Nazis are going to Nazi. This is their plan.
However, it's not permanent unless it's an Amendment.
Because the Constitution specifically gives them power to levy taxes, duties excises... it's their power, even if ceded. They can take it back at any time. They don't even have to ask.
And, to no ones surprise, yes he's abusing that law more than Jr. abuses white powders (allegedly).
