The American Federal government is supposed to be a system of checks and balances. This is what every kid is taught in middle school civics. No single branch is supposed to be able to seize total control, and such a power grab is supposed to be thwarted by the powers of the other branches. NO KINGS in the USA. NO DICTATORS. It is YOUR JOB to oppose and thwart the attempts of the executive branch to seize powers not allocated to them in the Constitution. The executive branch cannot Executive Order their way to whatever they want. YOU have the power AND the responsibility to use that power. Now is the time to lead. If you don't, why are you even on Capitol Hill? Step up. Or step down and get out of the way for someone who will.
