Vote Notes on Legislation
This resolution would allow privileged resolutions to rescind a presidential emergency tariff at any time, rather than under the regular order that governs House business.  Under current law, the President may declare an emergency and apply tariffs in response.  He has used this authority to obtain concessions on a wide variety of matters ranging from cease-fires to trade agreements. 
 
The use of this authority comes with a price. Tariffs harm the overall economy of any count

The Democrats printed and spent trillions of dollars we didn’t have and unleashed the worst inflation in forty years.  They waged war on American energy and plunged us into recession.     Now they are doubling down on these foolish policies.  It seems the more that some people invest in their mistakes, the less willing they are to admit them.
