I'm not an American. Does Congress actually have the ability to enforce the laws they write? What would someone expect a Senator to do?
-
Warren's party currently controls the executive branch. Though she can't enforce the law, she knows and works with those who can.

works with those who can.

They won't. They are going to hand the keys to the next admin, as is decorum. They do things by the book and maintain tradition. This party at every opportunity shows how completely inept they are.
They've abandoned us.

Biden... Uses "decorum" as an excuse for not understanding the current world. His mind is stuck on the world as it was in the 80s

And they have had that "official acts" thing from the supreme court for months. Zero reason this problem should have ever lasted this long.

The FBI is the one that’s supposed to be acting on political corruption. Bureaucrats can only write the laws, even the Justice dept mostly prosecutes instead of actively going after criminals.

Well the issue as I see it is the courts. The insurrection clause was already written and amended into the constitution. Colorado took him off the ballot for it, the SC said he couldn't be taken off the ballot for it, not answering to whether he could hold office. They avoided it because they would have to state that The Oval Office, is an office. If brought before the courts now, they would have to rule again, saying that the he doesn't fit into these terms
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same . . ."
He took the oath of office upon entering his presidency. The presidential position is listed, he is also a military office.
Was Jan 6 an insurrection or an act of rebellion? Was calling Georgia and telling them to make up votes and act of rebellion? Was calling Nevada and telling them to change the electors and act of rebellion?
If the Supreme court says they are not. Biden has legal right to call all 50 states and tell them to submit new electors for whomever he wants and cannot be held responsible.
If they rule they are an act of rebellion, than he legally cannot hold office.

It's a pretty big stretch of the imagination to think that Warren has any ability to get Biden to act that isn't just publicly shaming like this.

If they had a house majority and 60 Senators then they could either never inaugurate Trump or remove him via impeachment and vote to remove, same with federal judges he appointed.
Problem is they only had 60 for one month over a decade ago, now currently don't even have a majority.
The USA voted for crime and destruction.
