What should happen instead

National Security Tariff Authorization Act of 2026
Adjust tariff rates on imports of aluminum, steel, and copper to protect domestic industries and national security.
Bipartisan rationale: This solution honors Democratic priorities by requiring congressional approval and oversight, protecting workers and domestic industries without unilateral executive overreach. It honors Republican priorities by providing a clear, limited tariff authority that supports national security and includes a sunset to prevent permanent protectionism. Both parties benefit from institutional integrity: Congress reclaims its constitutional power over tariffs, and the President gains a clear, lawful path to act on national security concerns.
