This is also a milestone in that this might be the first law to actually reinforce Trump's tariffs, and perhaps the law as a whole might be the most consistent Congressional reinforcement of executive actions since Trump first took office in 2017.
In 2017, remember:
1. Congress cut Trump off in foreign policy with CAATSA.
2. Congress requested the special counsel which dogged his Presidency.
3. Congress brought back the deficit after Trump ran a $200B surplus in the first half of 2017 and explicitly took away Presidential authority to control spending to ensure that there would be a deficit--after granting Obama emergency discretionary powers to reduce the deficit.
4. They refused to even appoint much of the Cabinet, and delayed many appointments, despite the fact that Trump's first-term appointees were often appointed on their advice and were extensively connected to Senate figures--for example, appointing Mitch McConnell's wife to the Cabinet did not seem to be a great favor for the Senate.
5. The Republicans of the Congress refused to even implement Trump's domestic agenda, as embodied through the AHCA case, even when they had previously promised to implement these policies and even when these policies were pre-Trumpian.
