#1 O&Co is a symptom of the problem. Congress is the problem. They are not assuming their power AND their constitutional responsibility. The Senate gives advice and consent to treaties. This is not party politics. This is about the Chief Executive going against this nation's bylaws---the Constitution.

Every member of the House and Senate upon assuming office has sworn an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
