How has Congress failed to check Trump's executive power?

Congress has failed to check President Trump's expanding executive power by showing no backbone or will to stand up against his actions. Despite Republicans controlling all three branches of government, neither the House nor the Senate has taken meaningful steps to reassert their constitutional authority, particularly over budgetary matters. This inaction has allowed Trump to develop an expansive view of executive power without proper oversight. According to Jeremy Peters, Congress has abdicated one of its primary responsibilities within the three-branch governmental framework, essentially permitting the executive branch to operate unchecked.
