Would you suggest that Congress should be part of the "guard rails," and not packed into the careening vehicle?!
I've never been impressed with Congress, even less so now. Their mandate apparently does not include taking any political risks, anything that would potentially jeopardize reelection, no matter how important the need. As an example, I give you the immigration situation. If Congress had gotten off the dime on resolving those issues, which is their responsibility, then the current situation with Obama, and then T***p, ruling by executive order would have never come to pass. Obama tried to force Congress to do something, but they wouldn't do it, and so we are where we are now. And that's just one example. So we can bitch and moan about the Executive Branch all we want, much of it is justified, but if f***ing Congress would do their job, then the Executive would be regulated by default.
Just sayin'...
