Some version of the Major Questions Doctrine is obviously correct. Congress can't just delegate unlimited lawmaking power to the executive branch. There has to be some limit. But it's not really feasible for Congress to specify every detail. The reasonable compromise between these extremes is that Congress can delegate the finer details of implementation of a law to the executive, but that the executive must stay comply with the spirit of the law and not unilaterally decide major questions.
I believe that you can have standing recognized on the basis of imminent harm. Though even then, I do supposed that it might take more than a day or two to get things going.

Has anyone heard anything about lawsuits to block the use of tariffs on Major Questions (or whatever) grounds making their way through the system?
