    Didnt the house declare the remainder of their year 1 really long day so they couldnt be forced to vote on the tariffs as there already is a mechanism after 15 days for congress to say “yea thats not really an emergency”

      This would then default to not an emergency so avoiding a vote wouldn’t do shit to help them.

      The existing mechanism is that Congress can vote to say it’s not an emergency. I’m saying they need to do the opposite. Say it actually is an emergency and by a supermajority so one party having control doesnt give them complete control.
