Senators must vote in favor of this critical bipartisan legislation to reassert Congress's constitutional authority over tariffs and trade matters. The bill is essential to reclaim legislative oversight on tariff actions, mandating congressional approval for national security tariffs under Section 232 or enforcement tariffs against unfair trade practices under Section 301. This measure by Senators Grassley and Cantwell rebalances trade power between the legislative and executive branches, restoring the system of checks and balances the Framers intended regarding tariff powers. Passage is imperative to uphold the Constitution and maintain proper separation of powers.
