Here is how judges questioned President Trump’s claim of emergency power to junk the tariff schedule enacted by Congress
The Wall Street JournalFriday, August 1, 2025 at 1:00:00 AM
Judges are challenging President Trump's assertion that he can use emergency powers to override the tariff schedule established by Congress, raising legal and constitutional questions about the limits of executive authority.
Editor’s Note: This story matters because it highlights a key debate over presidential power—whether a president can bypass Congress on major economic decisions like tariffs. If courts rule against Trump, it could set a precedent limiting future executive actions, shaping how much power presidents have in trade policy. If they side with him, it could expand presidential authority in ways that might concern checks-and-balances advocates. Either way, it’s a big deal for how U.S. governance works.
