Why the fuck would congress give up the only remaining power
While I’ve asked that same question many times, they keep doing it.
However in this case it looks like Congress doing its job requires passing some sort of budget to reopen the government. If they let Trump usurp their power to fund WIC, that takes off some of the pressure and they don’t have to cave to Democrats
If you delegate power to the president, it’s one less thing for your constituents to complain about, and then you can spend more time fundraising for the next election
Theyre probably forgetting the part of roman history where, after making their version of a legislature a rubber stamp, being a roman emperor became the most hazardous occupation possible. On average, if you managed to stay in the role without getting assassinated by your successor for a year then that was considered a pretty good run
Interesting.
Why the fuck would congress give up the only remaining power they have permanently to Trump?
Well, I have a strong suspicion it’s because the government isn’t run by Trump it’s run by the Heritage Foundation.
They Live was a fucking warning and it turns out they weren’t aliens all along, they were billionaires.

The Manchurian Idiot
Why would the Roman Senate allow their emperors to do the same?
Short sighted personal interests, mostly.
They did sort of deal with that problem though. Almost.
Good initial effort, weak follow through

I just don’t count other people killing them so they can be the emperor instead
Because when the king speaks you obey.
