Congress gave POTUS that authority.
I'm not defending it. I'm just pointing out that Congress has been abdicating it's responsibilities (e.g. pass a budget, declare war), and giving its powers to POTUS either directly, or indirectly to the bureaucracy. Congress authorized POTUS to do this.
Maybe Congress should do it's job, reclaim its powers, and worry less about getting rich on insider trading while staging hearings for the next election.
I won't be holding my breath.

Can you articulate the “unusual and extraordinary threat” under the IEEPA?

Trump did that for you. But I was speaking more generally. IEEPA is not the only basis for tariffs.
And, as I said, I wasn't defending their use. You should ask someone who is.

IEEPA is 100% the justification for executive branch control of commerce.

Looks like the GOP has 7 candidates to be primaried. They need to fall in line.

They’ll invite it. See Wisconsin last week.
