He’s making wild power grabs by EO because they’re not being challenged - outside some judges blocking the most egregious overreaches.
Congress has the lion’s share of the government power - the purse string - if they choose to use it. Nothing moves or happens without money in America.
It’s even worse than that. Democrats forced a 15-day vote against Trump’s emergency executive order. The Republicans in Congress redefined the entire congressional calendar as a single day, just to avoid holding the vote. Every last Republican in Congress is complicit.
Source? I can’t find anything linking the legislative schedule to a snap change, just dry press releases of ‘here’s the planned calendar’ and official announcements.
