    So the argument is that since the executive is collecting the tariffs, it can spend them directly without Congress?

    Isn’t the IRS also an executive agency?

      Last time I checked they aren’t making any arguments unless they are sued.

      Why Trump thinks he can spend any revenue without congressional permission is beyond me. It is clear his administration does not care for the rule of law. They are a criminal organization.
