The Continuing Resolution that Schumer and ten Democrats voted for has a provision limiting congressional power over tariffs for one calendar year. So no, they can't stop it. What needs to stop are establishment Democrats who are being controlled by their donors to vote for things people don't want.
It’s great to focus on the Administration, but don’t forget to focus on individual Representatives and Senators who go-along to get-along. They’re looting our economy by their sins of omission as much as by their sins of commission.
Indicative of the real welfare queens and terrorists you need to worry about, not someone from another country. They're right in your backyard, running multi-billion dollar corporations, and holding office.
Your oppression is their profession.
The recently passed budget exempted Trump tariffs from Congressional approval, challenging the separation of powers and government accountability. It’s preferable for the government to shut down than relinquish trade regulation authority to Trump IMHO.
This could have been stopped on February 5, 2020 and again on February 13, 2021. But the feckless Republicans wouldn’t step up and convict him at his impeachment trials. They could have barred him from ever running again. If they didn’t do it then, they won’t do it now.
God hasn’t gotten back to a single republican senator so they are just waiting to take action. ;) because they don’t want to make any mistakes in saving our collective souls against our will.
According to US history, never. The US has never successfully removed a president from office using this constitutional authority. It apparently doesn’t work….until it does.
Earnest answer: neurological disability and I don't want the spot light. Am highly motivated to canvas for a primary challenger. He's one of the worst Dems in the house.
True, they need to reminded to honor their oath of office. They serve the American people. Not trump. Someone Republican or Democrat needs to speak to Mike Johnson and tell him, enough of this crap. The American people deserve competent leadership. Not ignorance and stupidity.
Arguably the senate locked it in by passing the Canada exemption, thereby giving the courts reason to believe Congress believes the president has this imaginary power. Case closed?
Call your Rep's, especially the Republican ones, just to remind them of this fact. They can already impeach on any number of things. Personally, I'd go with the 'aid and comfort to insurrectionists' thing, but it's a buffet of choices.
Sure, sure. It's like how we told the meth addict in the trailer park he could stop any time he wanted. In theory, it was possible. In reality though, he's gonna steal your tv while you're at work.
Should tell everyone that Trump is just the standard-bearer of the coup. They are happy to let him take the heat while they continue to stuff their pockets with blood and treasure.
Except ... Republican House members have voted to change universes so that the remainder of this year is counted as "one day." Alternate facts, I suppose, but some would say it's intentional self-delusion.
Pressure on Mike Johnson = key! Senate bill MUST pass House to go into effect. & Johnson & GOP—via CR that @schumer.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov helped pass—rigged rules to make every leg day for the rest of the year = just 1 long day. So Johnson never has to hold vote on it! #CongressMustAct
Exactly. The GOP needs to own the consequences. They can’t be allowed to walk around in the ruined world of 2026 going “it was Trump’s fault”. No, these are the “GOP tariffs” and need to be labeled as such.
