Does Congress Have Too Much Power

We all had those moments when we all hated the congress for passing a bill that destroyed their dreams or the president for only who they were or what their stance on certain things, however have you ever thought who really calls the shots, the President or the Congress? Like sure, it would make sense if the President has most of the power, while Congress has some or vice versa. Although when it comes to certain things, the Congress has more power over the situation.

In Presidential Influence on Congressional Appropriations Decisions by D. Roderick Kiewiet and Mathew D. McCubbins, they state that the president must possess impressive resources upon which to draw. Meaning that if the president wants to pass a bill, he must consult with the congress

Michael Little, director of legislative affairs for the Association of the United States Navy, claims ‘If Congress passes this bill, I will have to explain [it] to 400,000 (or more) sailors in the U.S. Navy, who are going to be blindsided by this attack on their earned benefits.’ Which would cause an uproar not only for the Navy, but as well as the other branches.Since this is happening to the Navy, who doesn’t say it would happen to the other branches like Air Force, Army, Marines, Coast Guard, and all the reserves. What would happen to them and their benefits, would they retaliate as well or would they move on since it doesn’t really affect
