Rand Paul: Most Tariffs in Our History Have Been Passed by Congress

EXCERPT:

PAUL: “We do have a long history, though, of both parties abdicating their responsibility on tariffs and granting power to Congress, which brings up another constitutional question, can Congress delegate powers given to it under the Constitution to the president? In the past, the court has allowed these things, but I think it'll be an interesting thing because most tariffs in our history have been passed by Congress. We've never had widespread tariffs that have been done by fiat by a president, and I object to that.”
