## Summary

**Limits presidential tariff power and makes Congress the gatekeeper for most new or higher trade duties.** This bill would cancel certain recent executive tariffs and create a fast, defined process for Congress to approve or reject future tariffs, quotas, tariff‑rate quotas, or suspensions of trade concessions. - Congress: Would get a narrowly defined, expedited pathway to consent to presidential tariff or concession actions through a "joint resolution of approval." The bill applies the Trade Act of 1974 section 152 procedures to those resolutions. - The President and executive agencies: Would be barred from imposing or raising duties, quotas, or tariff‑rate quotas or from suspending trade concessions unless Congress enacts a joint resolution of approval. The bill lists four exceptions, including antidumping and countervailing duties and certain Trade Act or dispute settlement actions. - Importers and affected industries: Duties imposed by Executive Orders 14257, 14193, and 14194 and any substantially similar successors would have no force after enactment. Businesses importing goods covered by those orders would no longer be subject to those specific duties unless Congress later approves new measures.
