Abstract

The article examines the petitioners' argument before the U.S. Supreme Court that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) grants the President broad authority to impose tariffs during a national emergency. It outlines how they defend President Donald J. Trump's 2025 tariffs by asserting that "regulating importation" under IEEPA includes monetary measures like tariffs, supported by historical practice and legal precedent.
