There is still a huge flaw left in Constitutional Law, even of Congress did wake up. Congress passes a law forbidding a specific action of the President; he vetoes it. Congress is silent, and the President acts in a vacuum to create policy. It is up to Congress to pass legislation denying the President that power. The President vetoes it.

Either way, the President rules by decree where his party can prevent an override of his veto.

I need to go re-read Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company v. Sawyer but my understanding is that this is all "legal."

What can congress do if it does not have the power to override the vetoes. You realize it takes 2/3 to get it done. Sure we have the majority but not enough to make it easy, thanks to dingy Harry Reid and Mitch McDonnell’s failure to change the rule when he became majority leader.
