Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump · ¶56

Finding no support in the statute the President invoked, the Government turns to one he did not: IEEPA's predecessor, TWEA. Ch. 106, 40 Stat. 411. In 1975, the Court of Customs and Patent Appeals held that the authority to “regulate . . . importation” in TWEA authorized President Nixon to impose limited tariffs. United States v. Yoshida Int'l, Inc., 526 F. 2d 560, 572, 577–578. When Congress enacted IEEPA two years later, the Government contends, it conveyed that same authority (except without the limits). See also post, at 342–345 (opinion of Kavanaugh, J.).
