@Mike_Pence @MargaretHoover @FiringLineShow The current American regime is what you voted for. Now live with the results. Trouble is, all the intelligent people who didn't, have to live with the consequences as well

@Mike_Pence @MargaretHoover @FiringLineShow Tariffs are working and these out of touch losers can’t grasp the speed of this Administration and its rapid fire string of successes. Mike might just need to buy a beach house somewhere and take a long siesta.

Trump attorney Christina Bobb says the court ruling striking down Trump's tariffs is wrong because "if the president doesn't have the authority to make and change tariffs, who does?" Um, Congress, as explicitly spelled out in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution?

Trump's tariffs have hurt American consumers, businesses, and ports. On top of that, the Constitution clearly states that Congress—not the President—has the authority to impose tariffs. SCOTUS needs to defend the separation of powers by ruling against Trump's illegal tariffs.

Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution gives Congress the authority to limit jurisdiction of federal courts. My Injunctive Authority Clarification Act does exactly that. Woke activist judges must be not allowed to make sweeping legislative decisions for all Americans.

Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution gives President Trump authority to convene Congress on “extraordinary occasions.” With drone incursions and bombs at American military bases and an ongoing conflict with Iran, this is just such an occasion.

🚨 NOW — Reporter: “Will you ask Congress for tariffs now?” President Trump: “No. I don’t need to. It’s already been approved.” That wasn’t hesitation. That was confidence. Trump is making the case that Congress already delegated this authority through existing trade and emergency statutes. In his view, this isn’t about asking for new power. It’s about using the power that’s already on the books. That’s the real constitutional clash. How much tariff authority did Congress hand to the executive branch over the years? And where is the line between delegation and overreach? Trump’s position is simple. He believes the authority is already his to use.

I support President Donald J. Trump on many fronts. But let's be clear: tariffs are taxes. And the power to tax lies with Congress-- not the executive branch. The Constitution laid out the process. It's time we followed it.

Mr. Samuel Adkisson, Associate Counsel to the President, White House Counsel's Office, on presidential accountability over the executive branch: “To the extent federal agencies exercise significant executive power, that agency must be accountable to the president. Article II of the Constitution vests the executive power in a president of the United States of America, period. The Constitution also provides that the president shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed. But if the president can't effectively supervise his subordinates in the executive branch — if, in other words, he is not in charge — it becomes practically impossible for the president to fulfill his duties under Article II of the Constitution. It also begs the question: who would be in charge? It's not the courts. It's not Congress. It's certainly not the people.”
