February 20, 2026 Press Release (Houston, TX) —On Friday, February 20, 2026, Congressman Al Green released the following statement in response to the Supreme Court’s ruling on President Trump’s attempt to impose tariffs. Congressman Al Green stated, “The Constitution is the foundation of our democracy, and the recent decision by the Supreme Court of the United States made clear that the President’s imposition of tariffs without congressional approval was unconstitutional. President Donald Trump continues to seek alternative routes to force tariffs, efforts that undermine the separation of powers and disregard the rule of law. These actions place real economic strain on everyday Americans through higher prices and increased uncertainty. Our democracy works best when leaders respect the constitution and govern according to it transparently as well as responsibly.”
