Americans, are you okay with this? For the next two years Congress will not pass or amend any laws.
DACA will be ignored. The Immigration laws will not get fixed. Nothing will get done but investigations. People are now saying that if Congress begins to investigate when they are motivated by hatred, when there is no evidence of a crime, it is the re-emergence of McCarthyism...which was a great evil.
The function of Congress is to make laws. They are also supposed to do oversight over the Executive Branch, but...
"Oversight is an implied rather than an enumerated power under the U.S. Constitution.[2] The government's charter does not explicitly grant Congress the authority to conduct inquiries or investigations of the executive, to have access to records or materials held by the executive, or to issue subpoenas for documents or testimony from the executive."

How do you feel about the plan for endless investigation which will prevent members of Congress from doing anything else?
