If Tariffs are an executive power, why?

So are you saying that the only thing that anyone can do has to come straight from the Constitution? If it isn't explicitly in the US Constitution it shouldn't be done?

There was nothing explicit in the US Constitution saying the Supreme Court gets to interpret the US Constitution, but they gave themselves that power.

Are you sure you want to continue down this road Veruca? I know you think you landed on some unassailable talking point, but I don't think this is going to end the way you think it will
"The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office."
 
The power of the courts to decide questions of law is explicitly stated in Article 3.

The President has only the powers given to him by the Constitution, nothing more.
Does it explicitly state the interpretation of the US Constitution is the sole purview of the courts? You can't have it both ways Veruca. Either it is explicit or it is not. Those words do not exist.

So are you saying that the War Powers act is also unconstitutional?

Are you saying that the Congress violated the Constitution by passing the laws I shared with you? Is that what you are saying?

Yes, as long as you believe the Constitution is law.

The War Powers Act is likely unconstitutional.

It is Constitutional for the Legislative to give power to the Executive, but that does not mean the Constitution grants the Executive that power.
 
Point out where the exact words "The Supreme Court gets to interpret the Constitution" exist in the US Constitution. I will wait
That quote is not necessary, just like if I asked you to point out the exact words, "AR-15 cannot be banned."

Cool attempt at a parlor trick.

So you are admitting I am right when I say that Trump has the power to impose tariffs. Just because it isn't in the Constitution doesn't mean he doesn't have the power if ti was granted by Congress which it was on three separate occasions. I humbly accept your concession.

If the whole point of your shit thread was that the Constitution doesn't grant the power of imposing tariffs to the President, then congratulations, you are correct. But, I don't know anyone that was making the argument that it did. I sure as hell didn't.

So you built up your own little straw man only to knock it down.

The point is that Trump HAS the power to impose tariffs granted to him by Congress. Have Congress repeal it if you don't like it
 
Why did Congress pass the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977, in which the Legislature gives some of its power to the Executive temporary powers to impose tariffs in a targeted way?
Congress got lazy and apathetic. By acknowledging their apathy and inability to find compromising and workable solutions, they decided it would be easier to let a single entity make a temporary decision

Trump has the right to impose tariffs via legislation granting him their power, under the limitations of that grant of power. The Court found that the law giving him limited authority to impose tariffs did not allow many of the ones he has recently tried to impose.

With limits, and the Court found that this situation did not fit within those limits.

Did they really? What are those limitations? Can you enumerate them? Hell apparently you only knew of one law since that was all you posted
 
So not a single Trumpper can answer my question? Case Closed.
I did answer it. Just because you make a straw man argument to then tear down doesn't make you smart. We have covered this. Congress vested power in the President.

Apparently you think this court h as final say

I cannot enumerate them, but the ruling is public and if you have interest in educating yourself you can expend the energy to read it.

Congress did not vest this power in the President according to the Court.
