Congressional Trade Authority Act of 2025

Bill 119 hr 1903, also known as the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 Amendment, aims to restrict the President's power to adjust imports that are deemed to pose a threat to national security. The bill seeks to impose limitations on the President's authority in this regard, in order to prevent potential harm to the country's security interests.

The bill proposes changes to the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, which currently grants the President broad discretion to adjust imports that are considered to be a threat to national security. The proposed amendments would place restrictions on this authority, requiring the President to seek approval from Congress before taking any action to adjust imports in such cases.

The bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to trade and national security. It is intended to ensure that the President's authority in this area is exercised responsibly and in accordance with the interests of the United States. Overall, Bill 119 hr 1903 seeks to strike a balance between protecting national security and promoting free trade, by placing limitations on the President's authority to adjust imports that are deemed to threaten national security.
