Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump · ¶316

The Supreme Court decided the Ford tariffs case in 1976. The Court unanimously reversed the D. C. Circuit and fatly rejected the plaintiffs' arguments. The Court held that the statutory phrase “adjust the imports”—even though it did not include terms such as “tariff,” “tax,” “duty,” or “fee”— granted President Ford the authority to impose not only quotas and embargoes, but also monetary exactions on foreign imports. Federal Energy Administration v. Algonquin SNG, Inc., 426 U. S. 548, 561 (1976).
