How is it possible that Trump can make so many decisions unilaterally, for example removing troops, withdrawing from WHO, etc, without approval from Congress?
How is it possible that Trump can make so many decisions unilaterally, for example removing troops, withdrawing from WHO, etc, without approval from Congress?
Yes. It is. One of many things that will have to be changed by the series of laws adopted to make the "norms" of our politics have the teeth of law, which will be known in history as "the Trump Laws."
Without control of both houses of Congress, a Biden victory would be close to meaningless. With control of both houses, even a trump victory could be destroyed by a fresh impeachment and an impeachment of Pence & Barr for collusion. This election will probably be interpreted in future history books as a turning point of the great American experiment with democracy. One way or the other. Probably the most impactful since Lincoln was elected. Voting is utterly imperative. Even if I have to hold my nose to vote for Joe, hipster ennui or weltschmerz would prove to be disastrous for the very concept of democracy.

So along with Trump the Democrats with need a strong victory for the House and Senate to pass those laws.
