Asked earlier this month about the possibility that the Supreme Court could strike down President Donald Trump's tariffs on the grounds that they are an unconstitutional delegation of congressional authority, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R–La.) said the justices should have no such concerns.
"The President is using the authority that the people gave him—I would argue a mandate they gave him—to fix the trade imbalance," Johnson said during an interview with RealClearPolitics. "I would have stepped in already if I felt like the executive had overstepped their authority. I don't think that's happened yet."
