QuoteThe cowardice of Congress will continue fueling the growth of executive power.

President Donald Trump's reckless tariff policies are threatening to drive the economy into a ditch—and Congress just made it harder to take away the keys.

What they did is pretty smart. They don't have to go on the record for supporting Trumps tanking the eco... I mean tariffs in case they don't work out.

QuoteSEC. 4. Each day for the remainder of the first ses8 sion of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar
day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622) with respect to a joint resolution terminating a national emergency declared by the President on February 1, 2025.

QuoteThe answer is likely that House Republicans don't want to be put on the spot with an up-or-down vote that would force members to choose between repudiating Trump or supporting his unpopular and irrational tariffs. By forcing bills like Delbene's to go through the committee process, they can be smothered without forcing members into tough votes.
I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

Quote from: CNCAppsJames on March 14, 2025, 04:38 PMThe ignorant voters that can't name the 3 branches of government should not be allowed to even say who is ceding what to whom.

I'll bet the majority of them not only can't tell you what branch is responsible for what in their government but I'll bet there's at least a few of them think The US Constitution is a fringe documents.
