Issues: (1) Whether the president acted outside of the scope of the statutory authority Congress granted under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 by doubling the tariff on steel imports from Turkey after the expiration of the statutory periods for presidential action specified in Section 232(c)(1); and (2) whether Section 232, as construed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit majority in this case to eliminate mandatory deadlines for presidential action, is inconsistent with the Supreme Court’s ruling in Federal Energy Administration v. Algonquin SNG, Inc. and is therefore an unconstitutional delegation of legislative power to the president in violation of Article I, section 8 of the Constitution and the principle of separation of powers because it cedes to the president the virtually unbounded power to tax and otherwise regulate imports.
