Summary
At least a dozen House Republicans are considering backing Rep. Don Bacon’s (R-Neb.) bill to limit presidential power over tariffs, directly challenging Trump, who has threatened a veto.
The bill would require congressional approval for tariffs to last beyond 40 days and allow Congress to repeal them anytime.
Senators from both parties support a companion bill.
Some GOP lawmakers cite harm to farmers and constitutional oversight duties as reasons to support the measure, though others hesitate due to Trump’s influence and veto warning.
You know we are fucking cooked when the phrase is “defy trump” and not “holding discussions to fix tariff bill”. They’ve lost all sense of responsibility to this fascist Russian asset and it’s crazy they are just following orders like it’s the 1930s.
