- They have impeached already, multiple times.
- Congress has no means of enforcing any laws they pass aside from trying to withhold funding.
- Hearings are political circus at best with no real consequences. See: 0 US based Epstein abusers in any form of incarceration.
- ah yes, amending the constitution. a very realistic and responsive option
Since none of these are practical, then congress wields no practical power. In principle and technicalities are useless. Even if the dems were able to take a progressive super majority, unless they passed a law granting congress law enforcement powers w/ funding they're declawed.
But the admin has repeatedly ignored such restrictions. This check on power also loses it's teeth when the oligarchs align themselves behind the executive branch.
Typically when someone refuses to leave, police inform the person that they are being formally trespassed, at which point they have the option to leave voluntarily at which point they are only allowed back at the trespassee's discretion. Not sure how that would work for public places where people have to conduct municipal business.
