Senate Republicans are also trying to increase presidential power at the same time (not the same senators)

There's a bill to stop a single federal judge from stopping executive orders - would require 3 judges instead of just one.

I don't think bills increasing presidential power will pass but the point is I am not sure how many Senate Republicans are really going to vote against the administration and in order to limit presidential power you would need 2/3rds of all Senators to do it so the legislation is veto proof. This will only happen if we go into a great recession and by then it's probably too late to undo the damage.

Not saying that we are for sure going into a 2008 level recession (though that's certainly possible) but rather that I don't think Senate Republicans are going to do much to limit Trump unless it becomes insanely bad.
