"Rep. Rodney Davis said Friday that he plans to introduce a bill to make the tax changes for individuals permanent."

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

This is not how legislative powers work. Congress can repeal any law it makes, either with Oval Office approval or a veto override.

ON THE OTHER HAND …

If the states were to wake up and repeal the 16th & ill-conceived 17th Amendments, then that would make tax change as permanent as it can get under the Constitution.”

Corrections, insights welcome.

I think you’re misinterpreting his intent. He’s not trying to make the tax rate cuts permanent for all time.

Instead, right now they’re temporary and expire in 2026. He’s trying to remove/change the provision that makes them temporary so that the cuts don’t expire.

You’re tackling a different subject than he is.
