TRUMP WILL HAVE CONGRESS MAKING DECISIONS
MOST WOULD RATHER LET THE PRESIDENT DO IT
The House of Representatives and the Senate are going to be forced to take some action in the near future. The executive orders by Trump to eliminate the unconstitutional actions of Barack Obama is going to place the Washington elite into a situation were they will now have to stop back-benching and vote on many items they would rather ignore.
All this action, that they may not be able to avoid, will place them in line of fire of the opposing forces in the country. There is a good chance that they will replace Trump as the number 1 object of scrutiny.
First there is DACA, Trump has given them 6 months to come up with some real legislation to legalize the Dreamers or they may be subject to deportation. It will be very interesting to see what they come up with.
Then there are the unconstitutional subsidies for Insurance companies that Trump has eliminated. They have tried to call these subsidies ," Insurance Stabilization" or "Health Care Stabilization", but not anymore, they will now be called subsidies and they will have to vote them into law if they want them.
Then there is the Iran Deal, they will have to debate and make some decisions, and take some public votes on this. They would rather the President would just do it, then they could complain if things went wrong.
Finally we are returning to real legislation rather than rule by executive order. Congress is supposed to make laws, but often they would rather not, they will now have to make decisions and vote. This is how it should be.
Trump has issued many executive orders, but most have been to eliminate the Barack Obama's unconstitutional executive orders. This is really not legislating.
The clock is ticking, they will have to vote on DACA, Insurance Subsidies, Iran, maybe North Korea, the debt ceiling, the budget, Disaster relief and more. Forget Thanksgiving and maybe even Christmas. They better start voting or they miss those holidays, the gym, and all those fundraising dinners.
