Subject: Re: When smacked with a hand, the game is a foot
I guess the question at-hand (or a foot) is whether the president has the authority to impose the tariffs.

Certainly - he need only send a bill to congress, no? (though there might be some treaties that have to be annulled as well).

Of course he may not wish to do that for other reasons. For example, having to do with perceptions of which branch has all the power and which branches have been demoted to advisory bodies.
