Senate Votes To Stop Trump's Tariff Madness. Now The House Only Has To ... Oh, Sh*t

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : Presumably, another resolution to end the far broader tariffs Trump enacted yesterday would also get similar support, maybe even more.
36% : Now, under the same 1976 National Emergencies Act that Trump invoked to declare the emergency, Congress does have the power to rescind that "state of emergency" through a simple majority vote!
36% : Who knew! Roll Call also points out that even if both the House and Senate passed their resolutions, Trump would still be able to veto the bill, and then the only way to rescind the emergency would be by a veto override, requiring a two-thirds majority in both houses.
34% : The latest "emergency" follows an earlier declaration that Trump used to impose (and then postpone, because everyone yelled at him) huge tariffs on Mexico and Canada.
26% : Here's a fun fact about Donald Trump's new tariffs, which are neither fun nor based in any facts: Trump yesterday declared a "national emergency" to give himself the power to impose the tariffs, bypassing the usual way of levying taxes, which as you may recall is reserved to Congress, not presidents.
21% : Trump claimed in his emergency declaration that America's trade deficits, plus other nations being mean to us, are an actual "emergency," so there.
21% : So now we know about an obscure provision that Congress could use to stop Trump, but which would require far more courage and responsibility than Trump's Republicans will ever muster.
