House Limits President Power For Three Years
The House passed a reciprocal tariff bill limiting the President’s powers for three years amid Democratic rebellion. The measure would curb presidential authority to negotiate trade pacts and adjust tariffs, with a Senate review likely to follow. Henry A. Wallace urged quick enactment warning of deeper cuts in exportable surplus crops if blocked. The bill permits tariff raises up to a set percentage and removes items from the free list, while war debt bargaining is barred.
