Lol, the house and Senate don’t get to refuse anything. The states send their representatives to Congress and they became the new Congress in January. This isn’t a special election.
They’re going to win control of at least the house, and from then on Trump will be a lame duck president. Any play at martial law won’t work and will just make Trump look like even more of a pathetic joke, they would need many millions of people in the army to actually enforce it and they don’t have anywhere near that.
So tired of the uneducated doomer shit on this site.
Another random rule that is “discovered” that only non MAGAs have to follow. Maybe educate yourself.
House Speaker Mike Johnson has the unilateral legal authority to fire the Clerk of the House and appoint an acting replacement before the 120th Congress convenes on January 3, 2027. Retired federal judge J. Michael Luttig and other legal analysts warn that Johnson could install a partisan loyalist who refuses to place certified Democratic members-elect on the official roll, thereby preventing them from voting for Speaker and effectively blocking a Democratic majority.
It’s true. Since being in he hasn’t been able to do ANYTHING without passing bills through Congress…
The end of his first term shows what will happen (except now it will be worse since he is on tilt)
Even with Democrats controlling the House, Donald Trump retained several significant unilateral powers in the second half of his first term (2019–2021):
Executive orders and memoranda – He directed the executive branch without congressional approval. In fact, he increased his use of executive orders and unpublished memoranda once facing a hostile House, particularly on immigration policy.
Appointments – He nominated federal judges, Supreme Court justices, and executive-branch officials (subject to Senate confirmation, which Republicans controlled). Most notably, he nominated Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court in 2020.
Pardons – The pardon power is entirely independent of Congress and cannot be overridden.
Foreign policy and military command – He could make executive agreements (no Senate ratification needed), direct military operations, and set diplomatic policy.
Veto – He will still block legislation
Enforcement discretion – He will direct how federal agencies prioritize and implement existing laws.
