True.

Two things -

1. Congress can override a veto

2. All bills, particularly those establishing agencies, should automatically sunset & require a new bill to recreate the agency. And none of this “continuing resolution” garbage either.

Congress can only override a veto with a two thirds majority in both houses. That’s not possible for any bill the Democrats don’t like. Sunset bills also require the president’s signature.

I would add the Necessary and Proper Clause should be blotted out of the Constitution and replaced with "any act or agency that affects the States not included in Article I, Section 8, being deemed Necessary and Proper by Congress, must have a concurrence by a majority of the States for (Insert time frame) then processed for review and renewal."

I don't care about any potential bottlenecks (Alternative is worse), in fact the States can most likely deal with internal problems better than a Federal leviathan.
