When I heard it described, they said basically that the House decided to automatically rubber stamp whatever tariffs Trump made.
Here is the first clause of Article I Section 7 of the US Constitution:
While this means that they do have the power to create a bill that delegates their authority, it's hard to see this tariff nonsense as anything but an abdication of their constitutional duties and a weakening of the checks and balances that are supposed to be built-in to our democracy.
Maybe the founding fathers never expected representatives to just hand over their power so easily. Like, no matter how idiot-proof you make something, America will always invent a bigger idiot.
Many founders worried over party politics to their death beds. Their nightmare? A demagogue with such a grip over his party he can basically command congress.
That’s what we got.
Congress aren’t handing over power; it was already taken from them before the term. Their hands are tied.
I don't think that gives them power to delegate.
Of course if it went to SCOTUS they'd say it's very cool and very legal.
So it's not ending anytime soon because the house has to sign off and they're shut down indefinitely as a last ditch effort to keep the Epstein files from getting out
Worse than that, they have a rule now.
How's that "symbolic opposition" been working out for us for the last 10 months, Tim? We might as well refer to you guys as symbolic representatives at this point.
10 months? Try 30 years, at least
