Trump Is Using Emergency Law to Impose Tariffs. Is That Legal?

Warning, pedantic-ness ahead:

Both parties + press + voters have been super comfortable with the Exec branch using EOs to expand it's power (ex:Reagan,EO12333). It seems to be driven by 'We like it when our guy does things'.

I counter with (or try to):

    Not holding a reasonable PotUS accountable
    gifts power to the unreasonable one that follows.

I don't think P+P+V understand this, however.

Most disheartening is the decades of press apathy - because holding the powerful to account it is their actual, constitutionally-protected day job.

When discussing what'll happen, it's important to remember that the Republican party as a whole is behind these new "emergency" import taxes, not just Trump as a lone actor.

In particular, the original IEEPA law requires that any motions to terminate the "emergency" must get voted on in ~18 days. However every House Republican moved to declare that somehow that the rest of the days this year don't count as time passing, for some reason.

Probably not, as an impermissible delegation of legislative power to the Executive (and for several other reasons).
