    it didn’t surrender anything, americans elected turnip in a majority of all houses

    the Republican Party now has a majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

    that’s damn near as much as saying go ahead do whatever you want as possible

      These are easily blockable by Congress and should be in articles of impeachment.

      Additionally Congress gave the president the ability to gain “temporary powers” during an “emergency” - and guess who gets to declare what constitutes an emergency? The president. And SCOTUS has blocked Congress from even being able to take it away without the president having a veto.
