The President isn’t a king, but he is CEO of the executive branch, and Congress gave the President power over tariffs.

I know it’s hard for people who believe “experts” are a branch of government but they’re not.

> Congress gave the President power over tariffs

a) It didn't.

b) It's not the case constitutionally that Congress can give away its powers unilaterally. Chevron deference is dead, for example.

Why isn’t tariffs within the “emanations from penumbras” of the president’s foreign policy powers?

These tariff powers are given for emergency use only under the IEEPA, so you're being disingenuous IMO. I don't think most reasonable people would see what's going on with Trump cooking up a "national emergency" over trade deficits and think it's a legitimate emergency.
