Rep. Don Bacon says he has "beginning support" in the House for measure to claw back authority over trade

Washington — Rep. Don Bacon, a Nebraska Republican, said Sunday that he has "beginning support" in the House for forthcoming legislation that would give Congress more authority over tariffs and trade policy amid concerns on Wall Street and on Capitol Hill after President Trump announced far-reaching new tariffs last week.

"It's time that Congress restores its authorities here," Bacon said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."

Bacon argued that the Constitution is clear on the issue, giving Congress "the power of tariffs and taxes, and we gave some of that power to the executive branch," which he called a "mistake."
