Apparently Congress delegated those powers to the executive branch, which means it could take them back, but it won’t, at least not until after the next election. How Congress delegates its tariff powers to the president

That's an excellent article, thank you.

However, it doesn't talk about spending. As far as I understand it, congress decides how taxes are spent. If tariffs are spent by the president then Trump has a budget that congress doesn't control, unless they change the law.
