I will support Congress taking back the power to create international tariffs regardless of how the Supreme Court rules.

What we should do is take it back, regardless of what the Supreme Court does.

Curtis said Congress should reclaim tariff authority regardless of the Supreme Court's ruling.

CURTIS HOSTS VIRTUAL TOWNHALL DURING LONGEST GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IN U.S. HISTORY - Senator John Curtis

S.1272 was introduced to provide for notification to, and review by, Congress with respect to the imposition of duties. It would require presidential notice within 48 hours and make duties expire after not more than 60 days unless Congress enacted a joint resolution of approval.

The Trade Review Act is a concrete vehicle for Congress to reclaim tariff oversight, but this source shows the bill was introduced by other senators, not Curtis.

Latest Action: House - 10/31/2025 Held at the desk. This bill has the status Passed Senate. The summary says the joint resolution terminates the national emergency declared by President Donald J. Trump on April 2, 2025, which imposed a 10% tariff on most imports and additional duties on specified trading partners.

The Senate advanced a measure to end the global-tariff emergency, but it had not become law; Curtis voted no on it, so this does not fulfill the promise for him.

AP reported that Curtis said the ruling showed the Founders' checks and balances remained strong, but also said questions remained about tariff revenue already collected and how the administration might use alternative authorities to impose tariffs.

Curtis rhetorically welcomed the Supreme Court ruling limiting emergency tariff authority, but the statement did not amount to a concrete vote, bill sponsorship, or enacted restoration of congressional tariff power.
