The question of whether courts can block presidential executive orders on tariffs sits at the intersection of executive power and judicial oversight. Presidents have broad authority to impose tariffs under trade law, but courts have occasionally intervened when they believe such actions exceed statutory limits or violate constitutional constraints. This debate has intensified as tariff disputes have become more frequent and economically consequential, raising fundamental questions about the balance of power between branches of government.
