Why cannot the Congress constitute a temporary tribunal inferior only to the US Supreme Court to review the legitimacy of these presidential amnesty actions?

What if they rule them illegitimate given the law?

What if the Scotus is asked for a stay in implementation of these presidential actions until the special Congressional Tribunal hears the case?

Why is this NOT permissible when the Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to institute these special tribunals?

Can any lawyers here explain why this is not a possible course of action?

I'm not a lawyer, but I can explain why that is not a possible course of action.

There is NO WILLPOWER from the Oligarchy and their leadership to do such a thing, inasmuch as they have told us that "Impeachment is off the table".

It is my understanding that the House and Senate can simply pass a bill that says something along the lines, "The provisions of Executive Order # XYZZZ are invalid and not acceptable to the people. Executive Order # XYZZZ is hereby found not to comply with the Constitution and is set aside. "

I forget the exact wording and it likely would have to be fine tuned to this action.

It is not a law so it doesn't have to be signed by The Messiah to go into effect.

What good would an unrecognized, and maligned, “tribunal” to “review” the abuses do without a determined, and immediately prepared, enforcement (punishment) mechanism to implement upon the determination of that review...

I guess articles of impeachment (House), followed by the trial in the Senate, would be the correct procedure, but how do you get that going with the future Congress and Senate majorities who do not know HOW to act as a majority??? Much less take up such a measure???

I personally would not get in the way of these proceedings, but “we the people” (that give a rats) have made our decision, we gave a political party the opportunity to get these issues and concerns effectively addressed...

And the new minority and the administration have already trumped the shift of power...They are not giving up the drivers seat just because they have been removed from the majority...The so called republican party may have the “gas” and the “brakes”, but the Dems still have the “wheel”, and the media has the “windshield wipers”...

How’s that for an analogy???

And guess who is still in the backseat cryin’ because we told them we are not stopping for a slurpee at Buckee’s on the way to grandma’s house for Thanksgiving...

We are living in a situation in this country populated by political and social cowardice, without virtue in many of our elected offices, regardless of political affiliation...Sure we have a handful that would do the right thing, but when you have forces normally aligned with them, those few, that we know have quality, can only do so much...

We the people, have done our jobs...Now it is time (way past) for those we send up there (temporarily), to get this straightened out...

Just my opinion...;-)
