Interesting.

The rather obvious question that then comes to mind is:

"So, why didn't Congress, when it wrote this new law in response to Nixon, include language making it clear they were NOT giving the President any power to impose tariffs, fines, taxes, duties,[etc.]" under the law?

I mean, why not just include it right in the statute itself? "This does not include the power to impose duties or tariffs" or something of that nature.
