2/3 of the house means ~1/3 of the republicans. the tariffs as planned will have a disastrous effect on american consumers. I find it unbelievable that they wouldn't begin pressuring their representatives almost immediately.

Believe it. With polls like this, no chance of a vote to overrule the president on tariffs. He said he was going to do this. It was central to his campaign. The single most repeated thing he promised were big tariffs.
