    It’s really amazing how the GOP members of Congress have willingly given up their power.

    I have to chime in on this one. The President didn’t just suddenly get all this authority; both mainstream parties started handing it over willingly decades ago.

    The Executive Branch of our Government, led by the President, is in control of far too many things.

      That’s fair, but the are handing him these wins. All of his picks have been smooth sailing and if they had a spine they could impeach him right now. It’s not that there are no ways to stop this, it’s that he’s “too big to fail” and the Rs let it get this way.

        I agree that the Republicans are letting the President get away with this and it’s going to destroy Trump and his cronies when they lose control of Congress.
