The inescapable answer to America's problems? Fix Congress
- Congress, currently controlled by Republicans under presidential influence, has repeatedly failed to follow its budget process on time, with the last success in 1997.
- This failure stems from decades of Congress abdicating its role as the central arena for political conflict, allowing the executive branch to accumulate authority beyond the Constitution.
- As a result, the House and Senate have devolved into a mix of pundits and lobbyists effectively serving the executive, weakening legislative governance and political accountability.
- Over the past fifty years, Congress has completed its budget process successfully on just four occasions, with only one instance—in 1977—achieving this on schedule; meanwhile, presidents are not expected to make laws unilaterally, as noted by commentators.
- Experts suggest that reforming Congress could improve American politics and address mounting national crises by restoring its constitutional function and reducing executive overreach.
