Rep. Don Bacon, a Republican from Nebraska, is advocating for a legislative proposal to restore congressional authority over tariffs, responding to concerns about the executive branch's overreach following President Trump's tariff implementations. This initiative parallels a similar Senate measure, highlighting bipartisan interest in re-evaluating the balance of power between Congress and the executive branch in trade policy. Despite growing support, House Speaker Mike Johnson opposes considering a Senate bill that would limit the President's unilateral tariff powers, reflecting ongoing debates about the separation of powers and congressional oversight in U.S. trade policy.
