Summary

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) plans to introduce a bill allowing Congress to block presidential tariffs, marking a rare GOP split with Trump amid market fallout.

His bill mirrors the Senate’s bipartisan Trade Review Act, requiring the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of new tariffs and gain approval within 60 days or face expiration.

With Trump able to veto and Republicans controlling Congress, passage is unlikely.

Meanwhile, House Democrats aim to force a vote ending Trump’s tariff-related national emergency, increasing pressure on vulnerable Republicans.

    I never said that’s what they would have done.

    But what are they doing to stop it?

    You’re probably not even American anyways, your cosplay concern trolling doesn’t matter.

      If the Democrats wouldn’t have done the same shitty things or worse, then both sides aren’t the goddamn same. If the country didn’t want Trump to do the shitty things he said he would do. maybe they should have voted in another President and party.

          There’s a saying that when America sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold. Non Americans are very vested in this mess, and have a right to comment on it, Cletus!

            Thanks. I’m also an American, living in America. That commenter’s facts aren’t very reliable.
