Plain-English Summary
Congress would regain direct control over decisions to impose tariffs and other trade restrictions, rather than allowing the President to make these decisions independently. This would require the President to get Congressional approval before raising tariffs on imported goods or taking major trade actions. The change would shift power over trade policy from the executive branch back to lawmakers in Congress.
