The Trade Review Act of 2025: Legislation to Give Congress Authority to Control Tariffs This bipartisan legislation aims to restore congressional authority over tariffs, a power currently monopolized by the executive branch. The Trade Review Act of 2025 would mandate the president to justify tariff hikes within 48 hours and provide an impact assessment on businesses and consumers. Crucially, it stipulates that tariffs expire after 60 days unless extended by Congress, who could also vote to cancel them. By rebalancing tariff powers between the two branches, this bill promotes accountability and safeguards against unilateral trade actions that could unduly harm the economy. I urge you to cosponsor and advance this balanced, democratic measure through Congress.
