Summary
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) plans to introduce a bill allowing Congress to block presidential tariffs, marking a rare GOP split with Trump amid market fallout.
His bill mirrors the Senate’s bipartisan Trade Review Act, requiring the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of new tariffs and gain approval within 60 days or face expiration.
With Trump able to veto and Republicans controlling Congress, passage is unlikely.
Meanwhile, House Democrats aim to force a vote ending Trump’s tariff-related national emergency, increasing pressure on vulnerable Republicans.
Oh, like he was “required” to do before cutting USAID? Cool.
Guess who would need to sign this bill to make it law. This republicans playing politics hoping voters won’t notice they aren’t doing jack shit to stop these tariffs. I hope they all burn and republican lose all their seats.
You know congress can overrule a presidential veto, right?
The Republicans have spent 8 years purging the party of all non-MAGA members. Congress struggles to do anything against the will of Trump. I can hardly imagine it would get a ⅔ majority to overturn a veto.
I tend to agree, but as you’ve seen, just yesterday, 100s of thousands of people came out against this. Republicans in Congress still have to get elected. Trump doesn’t have to worry about that anymore, so he doesn’t give a fuck. He’ll play golf, spit nonsense, and do crazy old man shit.
Plus, follow the money. Trump has now fucked with wall street and they put up huge dollars to buy politicians on both sides. Looks at Elon, he is already saving grace to help his failing companies.
Fuck Trump btw
