Well, does the statute give the power to issue a tariff among its other powers?
President Trump's tariff policy facing its toughest tests yet.
And good news for windmill haters.
All that and more coming up in just a moment here on your AM Update.
In the aftermath of Republican losses in Tuesday's elections and the ongoing government shutdown, President Trump telling Republican senators at a White House breakfast yesterday morning to terminate the filibuster.
That's the 60-vote threshold to advance legislation required in the Senate.
He says it's the only way to accomplish his own MAGA agenda.
Eliminating the filibuster would allow bills to pass with a simple majority, and with the Republicans currently holding a 53 to 47 advantage, it would bypass the need for any Democratic support.
Since the shutdown began back on October 1st, Senate Democrats refusing to pass a continuing resolution to reopen the government.
President Trump arguing that Democrats' obstinance warrants a major response.
Under the Biden administration, many high-profile Democrats regularly push to kill the filibuster in order to pass key agenda items, including making Washington, D.C.
and Puerto Rico into states, effectively adding four more Democratic senators and adding seats to the Supreme Court.
Those bids thwarted by Democratic Senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, who both insisted on maintaining the filibuster and establishing bipartisan consensus.
With neither Manchin nor Sinema still in the Senate, President Trump saying as soon as Democrats regain power, the filibuster is as good as dead.
According to Axios, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who would have to lead the charge, saying, quote, I know where math is on this issue in the Senate.
It's just not happening.
