Republican program speeds Fordney tariff plan through Congress
The first act of the new Congress will be the Fordney emergency tariff bill. Leaders intend to push it to the president for signature rapidly, potentially invoking the cloture rule in the Senate. The measure lasts six months, ending early if a permanent tariff bill passes sooner. Subsequent bills include an anti dumping measure and a shift to American valuation of imports. The plan also prioritizes tax revision, with the Finance Committee guiding the revenue rewrite as hearings feed Ways and Means into the tariff bill. Fordney forecasts swift work, though the tradition of lag may prevail if the permanent tariff bill takes precedence.
