Congress has been giving the executive more and more power every administration for a long, long time. Any time the executive actually wields this massive amount of power they have been given by Congress, people rightfully worry about how strong the executive has gotten.
It has long been time for Congress to restrict the executive, to take back much of the power Congress gave to the executive. And I hope everyone remembers this when their preferred party is in power in the future. A consistent voice is required here to reduce the power of the executive, one’s preferred party will not always be the one in power, and it is best to keep that in mind anytime there is a bill giving the executive power (or a lack of a bill taking power back).
