    I’ve learned that Congress has the tariff power, but has delegated it to the president. Congress can take it back any time they want apparently.

      According to the constitution, only congress can levy or collect taxes. BTW that makes the IRS an illegal organization since they are part of the executive branch.

        Isn’t that read as Congress to pass the laws for taxes? Administration of it can be done however.
