Trump's new tariffs are illegal. Block them. Impeach Trump.

To: Sen. King, Sen. Collins, Rep. Golden

From: A verified voter in Lewiston, ME

July 10

It's time for Congress to honor the Constitution and the rule of law. That oath every one of you swore to the constitution? It has not been suspended. DO YOUR JOB. Today I write about tariffs. The Trump tariff decrees are illegal. I should not have to remind you that: "the president has no authority to impose tariffs. The US Court of International Trade unanimously concluded that Trump's imposition of worldwide reciprocal tariffs was unconstitutional and was not authorized under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)." The letters that have been sent from the White House to Japan and Brazil are a disgraceful display of lawless arm twisting in the language of a shakedown. Step up and stop this illegality. You swore an oath to uphold the constitution; so did Trump-- he also swore to see the laws faithfully executed. Block these tariffs. Impeach Trump.
