Senator Rand Paul R-Ky. introduced the No Taxation Without Representation Act, which would require the president to obtain Congressional approval before imposing any new import tariffs. The bill, reintroduced April 3, 2025, would make tariffs subject to legislation and notification requirements and would cover actions taken under statutes such as the Tariff Act of 1930, the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, and other trade laws. It exempts full embargoes and aims to restore Congress’s authority over taxation. Supporters call it a check on executive overreach; critics say it could hamper rapid trade responses now.

I can’t take a yes/no political position or endorse legislation. I can, if you like, provide pro and con talking points, civic guidance on contacting your representatives, or draft neutral messaging. Which would you prefer?
