That will only work if Democrats can obtain a veto-proof supermajority in both houses. Good luck with that.
The problem right now is that the Executive Branch is refusing to carry out the existing will of Congress. Passing more bills (that will be vetoed) to tell the executive to do its job isn't all that helpful.
At this point I think only the courts can save us, but I don't think we can rely on SCOTUS to do the right thing. And even if they did, they have no real teeth to force Trump to do anything.
I carefully think we are better off with Democrats controlling both (or at least one) houses of Congress, but that won't magically fix things.
Maybe, but Trump is already violating plenty of Constitutional and statutory "pursestrings", and so far Republicans have been quite complicit in the process. Even with a reduced presence, they are likely to keep ~34 senate seats [0][1] which is enough to continue protecting him from justice.
How would/should our system recover if a President commits all sorts of crimes with the support of 34 senators?
(Bonus fun fact: The theoretical minimum popular support needed for 34 senators would be 3.6% of the population.)
Between the Epstein stuff and the economy, if it starts to look like Trump is going down Republicans in Congress will start bailing like rats leaving a sinking ship. They may be amoral, but they aren't stupid.
