I'm actually extremely worried about this constitutional overreach. Under many sane readings of the constitution, this isn't a power congress has. The president has a few unilateral powers in order to check the mob rules (or rather the external capture of congress.)
Ideally a president should be able to unilaterally dissolve all alliances and other undue foreign influence on our legislature. Otherwise there is no way to recover form this sham of democracy.
Laws are made by Congress. This is exactly the power Congress has. In your opinion, who would make laws if Congress didn't have that power, a dictator?
