Lawmakers from both parties criticized Trump’s move to lift sanctions on Russia, though Congress appears unlikely to respond quickly.

What counter? An EO isn’t law. Whoever says it is will get a kick in the ‘nards from a judge and they’ll be back in the shit.
It’s just pointless idiocy.
I very much think this was planned. In section 115a of the bill it gave the executive branch the ability to provide written notice and they could pause any part of the bill essentially.
So basically they got votes from Democrats to support the passing of the bill of increasing sanctions on groups by putting Russia in there, and then included a clause for Trump to pull the rug out from under the Russian portion, and added a reminder to his calendar to submit said prefilled out executive order right before it would go into effect on Russia.
(Obviously just my opinion on what happened)
I can see presidential powers being reduced or controlled more after this clown goes
What will that matter, if a President can ignore the law and do whatever he wants? The President’s power (when exercising his core Constitutional duties) is only limited by his imagination. The SCOTUS said so!
Presidential powers are reduced as much as Congress and the SCOTUS say so, that’s already in place.
But, y’know, Kamala didn’t support the proletariat enough. So here we are.
