The bipartisan Bicameral Congressional Trade Authority Act seeks to reclaim Congress' constitutional authority over trade matters by requiring the executive branch to receive approval from Congress before taking certain trade actions like implementing tariffs. This legislation would enforce much-needed checks and balances on the president's ability to unilaterally levy tariffs, which have severely impacted American industries, farmers, manufacturers, and consumers. It is crucial that this authority is restored to Congress to prevent further economic harm from reckless tariffs and ensure trade policies prioritize the interests of the American people over those of any single individual.
