Isn’t this the primary benefit of democratic governance. Humans have lots of bad ideas & some good ones. Yes a benevolent dictator would implement the best policies but most humans who get the job will be kinda of bad. So instead of allowing the optimal we prevent the worst.
More importantly, the Constitution gives Congress numerous powers that it has (unconstitutionally in my opinion) delegated to others:
1. War > President
2. Tariffs > President
3. Legislation > Administrative agencies

Congress seizing trade authority isn’t about good policy—it’s about protecting D.C.’s addiction to bloated, inefficient deals. The previous administration’s weak trade framework left us with supply chain chaos and a $1.3 trillion goods deficit with China. Strategic tariffs forced

congress always had the power to institute tariffs - they would be removing that power from the president
seems strictly better
Meh.
1. Congressional acts are still subject to veto.
2. If the default is zero, then diffusion is a feature not a bug. There is a reason taxation bills must start in House.
Avg democratic institution > avg monarchy (most of time)
bad monarch much worse than bad democracy
Don’t many many political issues have diffuse benefits and concentrated costs?
But Congress currently has the power to enact tariffs anyway. All they would be doing is eliminating Presidential power to do so unilaterally.
I think it’s more about them reestablishing some control and reinstating some order.
Seems like some hard-coded congressional review period for tariffs would be a good idea. Sort of like we have for end-of-term regulations.
They need to seize all their powers back before he takes control of everything. Federal Reserve included.

Our most Tremendous Leader has announced that this unlawful attempt by the corrupt legislative branch to strip him of his God given tariff powers is the result of a woke conspiracy. He has sent our great soldiers to arrest the traitors & keep you, the great American people, safe.

Why don’t you guys simply get out of the way?
Depending on republicans is like thinking they’re really going to do something is amateur hour. They always fold.
MAGA knows this already. All talk, no action.
How do you "seize back" a power you didn't have to begin with? Wouldn't just "seize" be more accurate?
