Reclaiming Congressional Trade Authority Act of 2025

HR 2712 requires the President to seek congressional approval before imposing new national security-related import tariffs. It mandates that the President submit detailed proposals to Congress and the International Trade Commission, including tariff rates and economic impact assessments, before taking action. Congress then has a 60-day window to disapprove the proposal through a joint resolution, effectively blocking the tariff changes. This bill directly affects the President’s executive authority, importers, and industries subject to potential new tariffs, shifting oversight to Congress for national security trade decisions.
