THE SOCIALST DEMOCRSTIC PARTY IS TRYING EVERYTHING TO STOP A PRESIDENT FROM USING THE CONSTITUTION IN GOVERNING OUR COUNTRY..ONLY BY REMOVING SOCIALISTS FROM OFFICE CAN ANY PRESIDENT GUIDE OUR NATION AS VOTERS WANT. Based on the provided search results from April 2, 2025, and subsequent events, it's important to clarify that no new laws were passed on that specific day giving the president authorization to impose tariffs. Key Points: Executive Action, Not New Legislation: President Trump had already declared a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) on April 2, 2025, imposing a 10% tariff on all imports and higher reciprocal tariffs on certain countries. This action was taken through executive order, not new legislation passed by Congress on April 7. Legal Challenges: The legality of these IEEPA tariffs has been challenged in court, with some court rulings finding that the president exceeded his authority under IEEPA. Ongoing Litigation: These court rulings are currently under appeal, and the tariffs remain in effect while the legal challenges are resolved. Congressional Efforts to Reclaim Authority: Some members of Congress are attempting to introduce legislation to reassert congressional authority over trade policy and limit the president's ability to impose tariffs. One such bill, the Trade Review Act of 2025, would require the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of imposing new tariffs and would allow Congress to block them. REMEMBER THE CONSTITUTION GIVES THE PRESIDENT SPECIAL POWERS WITHIN A DECLARATION OF A NATIONAL EMERGENCY...OVER CONGRESS. In summary, while there were significant actions related to tariffs around April 7, 2025, these were primarily executive actions and ongoing legal challenges to the president's authority under existing law, rather than new legislation being passed to authorize those tariffs. whitehouse gov
