What's stopping him now from dissolving congress? From sending them all back home and requiring governors send new representatives. This situation is the LITERAL slippery slope Republicans have cried about for decades
Dissolving congress isn't an executive branch power. Congress can just ignore something like that.
The president can't just will that kind of a thing into existence.
Having the FBI arrest half of them and hold them indefinitely is within his authority, he just has to argue they’re terrorists. He could say every member of congress who made statements defending the January 6 insurrection is a terrorist and send them to gitmo. He’s more likely to come after the squad though.
Reminder that CPAC proudly declared "we are all domestic terrorists".
