Mr Crank,

I would be interested in hearing your rationale on how the Executive Branch is allowed to set tariffs on every country in the world without the input, advice, or consent of Congress. My understanding is that imposing taxes, tariffs, imposts, excises, and the like, are within the purview of Congress, per Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, and not within the Executive (see Article II).
