Jimmy Carter’s 1977 law gives Trump sweeping powers to block China trade
by Sean Higgins
 | August 27, 2019 12:00 AM

Legal scholars and trade policy experts say that President Trump is right to claim broad powers to prohibit companies from trading with foreign countries thanks to a 1977 law that has previously not garnered much attention outside the context of national security.

The law, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act signed by Democratic President Jimmy Carter, gives the president sweeping powers to restrict trade once a "national emergency" is declared.

"The president can impose a virtual embargo on a nation under IEEPA," said John Yoo, director of the public law and policy program at the University of California at Berkeley and a former official in George W. Bush's Office of Legal Counsel.

There are several Judges in the 9th Circus ready and waiting to "discover" and invalidate this law on a moment's notice.

For once I would side with them on this issue.

Yep

While I think what is being proposed (ordering private companies out of China) is a really bad idea, I'd like to see Congress invalidate it, rather than a court.

That is true.. With the exception of the Airline Deregulation, any laws from the Carter era should be overturned. By Congress.

There has been ample tme, under Presidents and Congress majorities by bother parties, to do so.

Inaction is in itself, a "decision."

I flew before deregulation. What a joy air travel was back then.  The whole industry went to hell slowly after the peanut signed the legislation.  You find a better class of passengers on a hound these days than on a plane.
