The key is the purse and the house has done nothing. You know the REPUBLICAN controlled house
The only thing the house can do is pass bills. Bills must be approved in the Senate, and be signed by the president. They've only controlled the Senate for 1 day, where there still need to be 60 votes to pass a bill that the Democrats don't like, as well as 67 to override a veto, the same number required to convict the president for impeachment.
