Any new tariff or duty imposed by the President would automatically expire after 60 days unless Congress votes to keep it in place. Within 48 hours of imposing a tariff, the President would have to notify Congress with an explanation and an impact assessment on American businesses and consumers. Congress could also vote at any time to disapprove and cancel a tariff immediately. Standard anti-dumping and countervailing duties are exempt. This is the Senate companion to HR-2665.
