I think this op-ed well describes what is being done to the republic of the United States of America. If Congress is going to act against the Presidency it needs to terminate the National Emergencies Act of 1976 via a joint resolution. It is this act that the Presidency is using to build its dictatorship. We, the citizens of the United States need to be constantly telling our representatives to pass this joint resolution for the sake of saving our ability to self rule. Rescinding this act ought to be the singular cause of all federal elections going forward.
