In theory, the US branches of government were meant to be antagonistic to each other. The hope of the Founders was that the branches would protect their spheres.

Congress could easily take the Tarrif powers away. But they won't. Republicans are too afraid of Trump to cross him. And Democrats really have no levers to pull. And even if Congress wanted to, they would need 2/3 vote to override a veto. Ezra Klein calls it thr NPC - Non-Player Congress. 😂
