    Congress pretty much has the power to do anything within the limits of the constitution. One of the best things about the Trump presidency is that it is encouraging them to take back some of the powers that the presidency has seized by default.
    If they rein in some of the bullshit that comes out of the executive branch, that may be a lasting beneficial legacy of Trump. He may even be The One to Bring Balance to the Farce.
