""This timidity has become the norm for Congress, in areas far beyond this law. Legislators have voluntarily surrendered their power to the president and frequently act not as the heart of the American government but as a rubber stamp for one man""

@servelan We elected these representatives, and if we want different ones then we bring should elect different Representatives.

It's foolish to act like we didn't choose this. Apparently this is what we want to happen. A whole lot of voters explicitly say they want this to happen.

So it's not voluntarily surrendering power, it's using power exactly as voters want them to use it.

NYTimes seems to be forgetting the core feature that we voters used our votes to get this, and if we want different then we would vote different.
