Several Republicans signed onto a bill to make Trump's tariffs expire after 60 days if not approved by Congress. The White House says he'd veto it.

Summary

Seven Republican senators, including Mitch McConnell and Chuck Grassley, have co-sponsored the bipartisan Trade Review Act, which would revoke presidential tariffs after 60 days without congressional approval.

The bill challenges Trump’s sweeping tariff authority, exercised under his recent “Liberation Day” policy.

Though facing a likely veto and limited legislative prospects, the effort signals GOP divisions over Trump’s trade agenda.

Supporters argue Congress must reclaim its constitutional power over trade, reversing decades of authority ceded to the executive branch. A House version is expected from Rep. Don Bacon.

    The only way to make anything pass is to tell the big tyrannical baby is that it’ll benefit him and maybe word it in a way he’ll understand. Just lie to him, like he lies to everyone else like it’s natural.
