House Republicans extended a maneuver they engineered earlier in the year that effectively strips Congress of the power to disapprove of President Trump’s tariffs.
Tuesday’s maneuver was the latest instance in which House Republicans, many of whom have spent much of their career opposing tariffs as a matter of principle, have given up their power over trade.
Only a handful of Democrats and none of the party’s top leaders attended the ceremony, an outpouring of praise and mourning for the right-wing activist, who was assassinated last week.
In a notice to Congress, the Trump administration said the additional $58 million would go to the U.S. Marshals Service. It also said it supported additional security for lawmakers.
