President Carter’s Signing Statement on IEEPA

You can find the entire statement here. Here’s the money quote:

“The bill is largely procedural. It places additional constraints on use of the President’s emergency economic powers in future national emergencies . . .”

This hardly sounds like a grant of executive authority to set tariffs on every country in the world at any time and at any level. Which is why nobody thought that might be the case until this year.
