IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Monitor whether the administration actually implements the termination fully or attempts workarounds to reimpose similar tariffs under different legal authorities.
Why This Score
This represents the administration complying with a Supreme Court ruling by terminating tariffs—a routine check-and-balance outcome with minimal constitutional harm. The separation of powers functioned correctly (Court ruled, executive complied), making this temporary and easily reversible. Both A and B scores are very low, indicating neither significant governance harm nor distraction value.
