"Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, who was nominated by President Donald Trump, battled Solicitor General D. John Sauer on Wednesday over the limits of executive power while hearing a case on the legality of Trump's sweeping tariffs. Sauer argued against lower court rulings that shot down Trump's use of emergency powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to levy sweeping tariffs on foreign countries a power solely granted to Congress in the Constitution."
"Gorsuch asked Sauer, General, just a few questions following up on the major questions, discussions you've had. You say that we shouldn't be so concerned in the area of foreign affairs because of the president's inherent powers. That's the gist of it, as I understand it, why we should disregard both major questions and non-delegation. So could Congress delegate to the president the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations as he sees fit?"
Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch questioned Solicitor General D. John Sauer about the constitutional limits of presidential authority in foreign affairs and emergency economic measures. Sauer defended the administration's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose broad tariffs and argued against lower-court rulings that invalidated that use. Sauer urged deference to presidential inherent powers in foreign affairs, while Gorsuch probed whether that theory would allow Congress to delegate regulation of foreign commerce or the power to declare war. Sauer said the government was not asserting such sweeping delegations and emphasized that the statute contains specific limitations and compromises.
