This month, the United States Court of Appeal listened to the Federal Department to arguments in a pair of cases dealing with the validity of the definitions imposed by President Trump: Vos Selections Inc. Against Trump and Oregon against Trump.

Judicial cases-which the President called the “American big case” by the President-are now being unified after a committee of three judges in the International Commercial Court with both groups of prosecutors in May. The court concluded that the IEEPA Economic Forces Law (IEPA), which the president relied on, is not allowed to be imposed on definitions.
In the decision, the court addressed the scope of the authority granted by Congress to the President through IEPA, which allows the president “Organization … importing” property “to deal with an extraordinary and unusual threat” in relation to the “national emergency state”. The court rejected the president’s tariff on two basis. First, the court saw that “organizing … import” was unable to allow the unlimited tariff authority that President Trump demands because of its tariff around the world and revenge without running over the separation of the authorities, as Congress alone has the constitutional power to set customs tariffs. Second, the court concluded that the president’s tariff targeting fentanel and immigration was not “dealing with” those who specifically emphasized emergency situations, but instead they were primarily imposed on creating influence of the president in the negotiations.
Soon the government appealed, and the Court of Appeal in the Federal Department stopped the International Trade Court, which means that the customs tariff is still in effect.
Upon appeal, the government once again argued that IEPPA gave the president a broad power to control and control imports – even though there is no former president using IEPPA to impose customs tariffs. In fact, when pressing how to read the vast IEPA authority, the government emphasized that the law delegation allows unlimited power, which means that there is no limit to the amount of tariff or its scope and duration. The government claimed that this authority did not violate the separation of the authorities because IEPA requires an emergency, which has some authority to review.
The competitors responded that the president did not specify any unusual or unusual threat that requires the IEPA summons. Instead, the president’s descriptions of emergency situations are transmitted that they are “ongoing” and “sustainable” “historical standards” instead of unusual or unusual threats. Even if there is a legitimate emergency, or the judges are not able to review this question, the word “organization” in IEPA does not include the ability to impose definitions. This is evident not only from the simple language of the basic system, but also from the fact that no president has previously demanded this overwhelming identification force and that the constitution explicitly separates the power of “tariff” from “regulating trade”. VOS also noticed that unlike IEPA, every law gives the force of the customs tariff to the president explicitly indicates a tariff or duties. If Congress aims to authorize the wholesale audit power of the country’s complete tariff system, it would be clear.
Since the case is now heard “En BANC”, this means that all the eleven active judges of the Appeal Court are participating in the decision, difficult to predict the result. However, what is clear is that the government is concerned about how the federal circuit can judge. After the oral argument, on August 11, the government made a complementary notice of power, which caught the court’s attention to the trade agreements reached with some countries. In the letter, the government confirms that a decision confirms the minimum court that can “cancel” millions of jobs, “force[] [people] From their homes, “and created” as a result of the year 1929 “of the country.
Since the nation is awaiting the decision of the federal circle, the importers remain subject to definitions from the liberation day, as well as the additional definitions that the president has implemented since then. But if the competitors are at the end, the importers may be able to request the amounts recovered from the government.
