Trump has imposed tariffs on Mexico and Canada without going to congress for legislation, citing a provision in existing law allowing him to act for the sake of national security.
Though his usual cheerleaders support him, some officials insist there is no national security issue involved, and Trump's ludicrous insistence that bad trade deals are per se national security issues shows they are right.
Meanwhile, GOP legislative leaders will not even bring to the floor bills to restrain presidential power in this area.
This is a party and a president who endlessly and sometimes accurately whined, and still whine, that Obama unconstitutionally usurped legislative power.
