The Constitution and the Trump Tariffs

Source: Tenth Amendment Center
by Rob Natelson

“Are tariffs always taxes? When does a statute granting powers to the president go too far? These are some of the questions the Supreme Court will address in two consolidated tariffs cases: Learning Resources, Inc v. Trump and Trump v. V.O.S. Selections. This essay unpacks the principal constitutional issues for you. It examines those issues through the lens of the Constitution’s original meaning, irrespective of any mistaken later interpretations.” (12/07/25)
