An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Retake control of tariffs!

4 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

Act up! Take back control of tariffs! Trump does not have the power to impose tariffs - Congress does !!!! Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution states, in part, that Congress has the power to “regulate commerce with foreign nations,”including the power to “lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises.” There is no similar grant of authority to the president. Congress has delegated limitedauthority to adjust tariffs in narrowcircumstances, none of which apply here. See Congressional Research Service, Congressional and Presidential Authority to Impose Import Tariffs. Do something! At least keep Telling the media these tariffs are illegal!
