A tariff is a tax. It's collected at the border from an American importer, and it lands in the price of whatever you were going to buy anyway — groceries, car parts, lumber, the components inside every appliance in your house. The Constitution put that power in Article I, with Congress, precisely because taxing the whole country isn't supposed to be one person's mood on a Tuesday. Instead it's been done by emergency declaration, switched on and off, aimed at neighbors and allies like Canada, leaving businesses unable to plan a quarter ahead and households absorbing the difference at the register. Resistbot is asking the candidates on your 2026 ballot to take that power back: require a recorded vote of Congress to impose or extend tariffs, sunset emergency trade authority, and make anyone who wants to raise your prices say so on the record.
