Once again, we find out most of the past presidents just obeyed decorum and norms… Did no one consider that a bad-faith president would just say, "uh…‘EMERGENCY!’ " then he’s allowed to bypass Congress and just do whatever the fuck he wants!?
Afaik congress could stop him, revoking his “emergency tariff powers” and revoking the emergency itself. But they won’t. Like Trump, they only seek power.
Incidentally this is the reason the judiciary power in other democracies is self governed (e.g., judges elect their own supreme court) and parties in the judiciary are forbidden
This needs to be turned against him. Obviously through the courts would be ideal. But at least in terms of the media juxtaposing his emergency declarations with his golfing.

Hey, that’s emergency golfing to you, buddy!
Break in and plant trees all over the fairway and turn the green into a pond.
18 times.
On all his golf courses.
No, not against just him, against the entire party supporting him.
Also that the emergency has been created by him ergo not really an emergency
We went over this with bush 2 and decided the answer is basically yes. Otherwise it’d be letting the terrorists win
