#NealKatyal, the lawyer who is arguing against the #Trump admin, said earlier Thursday, "The president is saying he on his own with his say so can impose these tariffs."
"And that is something no president in 200 years has ever thought. The tariff power goes all the way back to the Revolutionary War &… the protests in the Boston Tea Party & the like," #Katyal said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
"And our #Constitution was very clear in saying…there's one branch that has the #power to tariff & it isn't the president & it isn't the #courts. It's the #Congress of the #UnitedStates," Katyal said.
The case, known as V.O.S. Selections v. Trump, centers on whether #Trump exceeded his #authority by invoking an emergency-powers #law to impose a slew of far-reaching tariff policies.
