What is to stop Trump from simply dismantling Congress?

What does he actually need them for?

He does what he wants with the blessings of the Supreme Court and he owns the Justice Department so any lawsuits against him are impotent.

He issues EOs every day that Congress has nothing to do with.

Right now, their only job is to applaud him in his presence because they gave him all their power.

I've been saying that the Repbs will lose their jobs if they continue this way, via midterms (if we have them) or IT getting rid of Congress, so WHY NOT go against him?

I think privately all the Republicans are money-driven, grifting and not-so-much-into their constituents and that will melt them down for sure! The trail of traitorship these people leave behind, like Lindsay Graham, are a waste-of-space!

I wish someone could explain to me what the people of South Carolina see in Graham. Do they not see his deceit? Are they okay with seeing the chaos our government is in for the second time? Do they not see where the economy is at right now? They were complaining about prices when Biden was in office. Now the economy is even worse.

well that's what they're doing but of course they're not supposed to do that. the only reason we think they'e gutless sycophants is because the democrats are kind of joining in with that. throwing up their hands and being the totally ineffective lumps that got us here in the first place. if they're not going to fight for us then I certainly see how people think congress is useless. so far they are.

The congress is in charge of the 'purse of money', all allocations have to go thru them. Impeachments too, and more.

In all fairness to the SC, of whose members I am not a fan of in whole, they cannot initiate lawsuits. Those must come from elsewhere.
