Part 6/10:
Congress serves as a critical counterbalance to executive power, possessing the ability to investigate, issue subpoenas, and initiate impeachment proceedings. However, with current congressional leadership illustrating a reluctance to challenge the status quo, mechanisms intended for accountability appear ineffective. The situation is further complicated by executive loyalty structures that complicate traditional oversight.
Political operatives, who can enforce such regulations, are often loyal to Trump, creating a climate void of genuine accountability. As the current legislative framework stands, the power to act against presidential overreach dissipates, leading to a pervasive culture of impunity.
