The case for stripping the Supreme Court of its power

[Into the Night]

See the various AUMFs, section 1182(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and numerous other acts congress has passed enabling the President to act on his own.

Only under the direction of Congress in these areas.

Yes--Congress has delegated much of its authority to the president: trade agreements, emergency actions, etc.

Congress has no authority over trade agreements. The President has that authority. He also has the authority to handle several emergency actions. See articles I and II of the Constitution of the United States.

Congress has no authority over trade agreements. The President has that authority. He also has the authority to handle several emergency actions. See articles I and II of the Constitution of the United States.

The president was delegated those powers by Congress and those laws are what is cited by the president when exercising those powers.

What constitutional provision(s) give the president authority over trade (other than negotiating treaties)?

"The United States Constitution gives Congress the power to impose and collect taxes,tariffs,duties, and the like, and to regulate international commerce. While the Constitution gives the President authority to negotiate international agreements, it assigns him no specific power over international commerce and trade.Through legislation,however, Congress may delegate some of its power to the President, such as the power to modify tariffs under certain circumstances.Thus, because the President does not possess express constitutional authority to modify tariffs, he must find authority for tariff-related action in statute."

But it takes Congress approval to pass the yearly budget bill as to what the monies are to be allocated & items to be spent on.

Many of those items do not require specific new spending (imposing tariffs, making trade deals). The legislation delegating those powers often includes any necessary funding.

[SmarterthanYou]

Nope. That requires a Constitutional amendment. Congress can't change the Constitution. Only the States can.

I might be wrong, but i'm thinking that SST is talking about congressional acts that give the president power to do stuff that congress is supposed to do, usually because they are too lazy or terrified to be responsible

No doubt SCOTUS has all necessary funding from Congress passing the yearly budget at an actuary tables percentage to offset more than 24 US Constitutions purchased at the National Archives, which were in all probability stolen & burned to maintain their national religion master race of Christiananality pedophilia "serve the Pope or die" from Islam "death to the infidels" master plan.

Congress has no such authority.

Article II.

"The United States Constitution gives Congress the power to impose and collect taxes,tariffs,duties, and the like, and to regulate international commerce. While the Constitution gives the President authority to negotiate international agreements, it assigns him no specific power over international commerce and trade.Through legislation,however, Congress may delegate some of its power to the President, such as the power to modify tariffs under certain circumstances.Thus, because the President does not possess express constitutional authority to modify tariffs, he must find authority for tariff-related action in statute."

Tariffs were imposed by Congress.

Seems those crooks on Capital Hill, SCOTUS & their national religion lynching enforcement is perpetually funded to remain way too lily brilliant white Christiananlity pedophilia organized crime as thieving US Constitution - old glory - old testament - absentee voting ballots arsonists.

Tariffs were imposed by Congress.

There were no bills introduced in Congress for Trump's tariffs.

"Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution: "Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises." But Congress has repeatedly shifted its powers regarding tariffs to the president.[52] Beginning in 1917 with the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917 the president can impose any tariff while the nation is at war. The affected trade does not have to be connected to the ongoing war. Since 1974 the Trade Act of 1974 allows the president to impose a 15% tariff for 150 days if there is "an adverse impact on national security from imports." After 150 days the tariff expires unless extended by Congress. In 1977 the International Emergency Economic Powers Act shifted powers even more towards the White House. The Trump administration claims that it gives the President the authority to raise tariffs without any limits during a national emergency of any kind. Legal scholars disagree because the IEEPA does not mention tariffs at all and transfers no authority of tariffs towards the President."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_tariffs

"In early 2018 President Trump imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum imports under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. This law states that the president can raise tariffs on imports that pose a threat to national security. Section 232 allows the President to implement these tariffs without the approval of Congress, following an investigation by the Department of Commerce. The Commerce Department has noted that threats to national security may include “fostering U.S. dependence on unreliable or unsafe imports” or “fundamentally threatening the ability of U.S. domestic industries to satisfy national security needs.”1 However, there are many members of Congress on both sides of the aisle who would like to rein in the President’s ability to unilaterally impose tariffs."

Congress has no such authority.

Article II.

Tariffs were imposed by Congress.

That only matters if the president does not usurp those powers. Trump did.
