Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itCollins asserts that tariffs are constitutionally Congress's responsibility, which is a specific legal claim about constitutional authority worth verifying against the text of the Constitution and legal precedent.
What we foundThe U.S. Constitution explicitly assigns tariff authority to Congress under Article I, Section 8, confirmed by the constitutional text itself, the Congressional Research Service, Supreme Court precedent, and multiple independent legal analyses.
