Stop to so called EMERGENCY tariffs now

To: Sen. Cornyn, Sen. Cruz, Rep. Crenshaw

From: A constituent in Spring, TX

April 5

So, the House's new rules say that individual lawmakers can't do that anymore. They cannot bring a privileged resolution under IEEPA to the House floor for the rest of this congressional session Each day for the remainder of the first session of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act with respect to a joint resolution terminating a national emergency declared by the President on February 1, 2025," is how the relevant portion of the rules package spells things out. In the meantime, the message from House Republicans (minus Massie) is clear: Trump's executive power over tariffs is not to be challenged, even when there is clearly no emergency and when he's using those powers to jerk the economy and stock markets around on a daily basis. The cowardice of Congress will continue fueling the growth of executive power at the expense of We the People. Stop the abuse of executive power now.
