The #Constitution gives #Congress the #power to levy #tariffs. But the #Trump administration argued that a 1977 #law allowing the president to regulate importation during “emergencies” also allows him to set tariffs. Other presidents have used the law dozens of times to impose #sanctions, but Trump was the first president to invoke it for #import #taxes.

In case you didn't know where we are the coup process, we're at the part where the coup plotters openly reject the constitution and declare a set of laws made up by themselves.

We have arrived at the overthrow of the US government, unless Democrats or the military do something useful very soon.

And frankly, don't hold your breath.
