Pence group lashes out at Trump tariffs ahead of 'Liberation Day' event: 'Tax on American consumers'
Fox News
Former Vice President Mike Pence's policy advocacy group came out swinging Wednesday against Trump's expected reciprocal tariffs announcement, calling it a "tax" on Americans.
"Congress has a constitutional responsibility to reclaim its authority over taxation," AAF's general counsel Marc Wheat wrote in the letter. Jamie Joseph is a U.S. Politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering transgender and culture issues, the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services, and stateside legislative developments.
Wheat said Congress could achieve this by passing Sen. Mike Lee's Article One Act, which was introduced in 2023 under the Biden administration. The bill would require Congress to approve national emergency declarations declared by the president within 30 days as well as place other barriers around such orders.
