The Supreme Court on Feb. 20 ruled that President Donald Trump does not have the authority to impose sweeping tariffs at the stroke of a pen.
The decision, which is a major blow to Trump's economic agenda, was made 6-3. So, how did each of the nine justices vote?
The decision from the conservative court was its first major ruling against Trump's expansive view of presidential power.
The justices, in a 6-3 ruling authored by conservative Chief Justice John Roberts, upheld a lower court's decision that Trump's use of a 1977 law meant for use in national emergencies exceeded his authority, according to Reuters. The justices ruled the law at issue − the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA − did not grant Trump the power he claimed to impose tariffs.
Roberts, citing a prior Supreme Court ruling, wrote "the president must 'point to clear congressional authorization' to justify his extraordinary assertion of the power to impose tariffs," adding: "He cannot."
