That will only work if Democrats can obtain a veto-proof supermajority in both houses. Good luck with that.

The problem right now is that the Executive Branch is refusing to carry out the existing will of Congress. Passing more bills (that will be vetoed) to tell the executive to do its job isn't all that helpful.

At this point I think only the courts can save us, but I don't think we can rely on SCOTUS to do the right thing. And even if they did, they have no real teeth to force Trump to do anything.

I carefully think we are better off with Democrats controlling both (or at least one) houses of Congress, but that won't magically fix things.
