In the context of the current admin:
- They have impeached already, multiple times.
- Congress has no means of enforcing any laws they pass aside from trying to withhold funding.
- Hearings are political circus at best with no real consequences. See: 0 US based Epstein abusers in any form of incarceration.
- ah yes, amending the constitution. a very realistic and responsive option
Since none of these are practical, then congress wields no practical power. In principle and technicalities are useless. Even if the dems were able to take a progressive super majority, unless they passed a law granting congress law enforcement powers w/ funding they're declawed.
I don't disagree with you, and I think you might have misunderstood me. I think Congress could start clawing these back, but I agree, right now they have no effective power, which is why I called them a "eunuch congress."
Perhaps that's where we would disagree. I don't think congress has the means to claw anything back at this point or in the future. We're essentially well into a self-coup
