President Trump:
Notice"Is a"
The Supreme Court ruled on February 20, 2026, in a 6-3 decision, that President Donald Trump could not use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose sweeping global tariffs without congressional approval. The Court held that IEEPA does not authorize the president to impose tariffs, stating the law contains no reference to tariffs or duties and that the power to tax—central to tariff imposition—resides with Congress.
United States v. Curtiss-Wright Export Corp. (1936) established the principle that the President is the "sole organ" of the federal government in international relations, granting the executive broad, inherent authority in foreign affairs independent of congressional approval.
The Supreme Court ruled that the President's power in foreign affairs is plenary and exclusive, meaning it does not require an act of Congress to be exercised, though it must still comply with the Constitution.
A tariff is a tax imposed by a government on goods imported from other countries, and only the POTUS has foreign charters not the legislative nor the judicial branch. Important: Congress only has say in domestic taxation and not international agreements.
The Court held that IEEPA does not authorize the president to impose tariffs, stating the law contains no reference to tariffs or duties and that the power to tax—central to tariff imposition (word game: is a)—resides with Congress.
IEEPA doesn't have to restate the law, because the right to tariff belong to the POTUS as the sole organizer. A tax is a charge, there are domestic and international charges. They are playing word games central meaning a tariff is a tax but there is a charter for Congress = domestic and POTUS = international. There does not need to be a reference because we already have precedents in United States v. Curtiss-Wright Export Corp.
Under IEEPA, the president can block transactions, freeze foreign assets, and regulate economic activities related to foreign interests. However, the law does not explicitly authorize the imposition of tariffs.
A tariff "is a" economic regulation is it not? The law does not have to explicitly authorize the imposition of tariffs because it is encapsulated in the term "economical regulation" and the POTUS has been given plenary powers in Curtiss-Wright Export Corp already. The IEEPA doesn't have to reiterate all powers that have already been known and exercised, just address novelty.
See how they read the board when I described tariffs as a tax or duty and made their rulings by making word games?Is a
