Forgive me, but as an outsider looking in (regarding US politics) it feels that Trump has been ruling solely by EOs since he came into power, but surely laws need to be drafted and enacted by Congress to be made to stick? I just hope the GOP will make the most of their control over both houses before the midterms...
may I ask where your from?
The founding fathers were fucking roman/classica greek nerds that thought long and hard about the issues of governance. They correctly imo addressed some problems and created new one.
One of the best things they did was give congress the power to make the laws, but they could never administer them. A congressman cant not order federal workers around, cant not give orders to military etc.
The people who do the hands on administration of the law are not able to make the law. Its a great seperation of powers.
same with making the president supreme leader of the military thus no coups etc.
Up untill teddy rosevelt it was viewd that true power was with congress and the administration could only do what they directed him to do.
Congress has willingly given up its authority the bureaucracy and excutive branch because after the second iraq war some senators got fucking kicked out of office for it. (as they should)
So to avoid responisbility they kept ceding authority to the excutive branch
treaties congress is supose to do
tarrif congress is supose to do
here look at this

war congress is suspose to do
They give the admin authorization to do limited military shit
I would ultimately blame us americans for not being civic minded and engaged in these matters
