Republican senators have begun to move
In Sen. Jerry Moran’s home state of Kansas, support for President Trump remains high. But so does anxiety among farmers and manufacturers about the economic fallout from the tariffs Mr. Trump has imposed.
“This has gone on longer than I think people expected it,” Mr. Moran said. “And so the financial consequences are increasing.”Mr. Moran and some other Republicans—including Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee—are searching for ways to team up with Democrats to reassert congressional authority over the levying of tariffs. They aim to curb the type of tariff-by-tweet policy-making“The Constitution is very unambiguous,” said Sen. Pat Toomey , who has proposed legislation that would require the president to seek congressional approval before imposing tariffs. “
It assigns Congress the responsibility for regulating commerce with other countries and setting tariffs, and yet we’ve significantly delegated that to the president, would force the president to get Congress’s approval before imposing tariffs under Section 232. It also would tighten the act’s definition of national security and require the Defense Department, rather than the Commerce Department, to justify new tariffs.A rival bipartisan bill proposed by Sen. Rob Portman isn’t retroactive.
