What could a Pubbie Congress do to thwart a Czar? Better yet, what could a Pubbie Congress and Senate do to thwart a Czar?

They may look out the window one day and see the entire middle class with torches and ropes in their hands.

The solution is simple: SPEND BILLIONS ON HIGH-SPEED MAGLEV TRAINS.

House prices will fall much farther than that.

I believe the ultimate goal is to eliminate private home ownership entirely. We will have to go and kiss some public official's butt to get assigned a decent place to live in.

From IMDB.com Family Nest

Bela Tarr's first full length film is a bleak indictment of communist housing policy; A young couple and their daughter are forced to live with the husband's family in a tiny flat in which tempers frequently flare. The close camera work and grainy documentary style capture the claustrophobia and indignity of life at close quarters with those you don't like; the father-in-law is a malevolent Iago-esquire figure, forever whispering conspiracies to his son. The couple are desperate to leave, but, as their meetings with the government officials show, there is no prospect of escape for years to come; This is despite many usable flats standing empty, unused for bureaucratic reasons.. We learn more of the characters as the second half of the film effectively becomes a series of monologues, which further convey what a bleak place 1970's Hungary was.

Back to the future in the US.

“What could a Pubbie Congress do to thwart a Czar? Better yet, what could a Pubbie Congress and Senate do to thwart a Czar?”

Not sure why you are asking me this question based upon what I wrote, but just for fun I’ll venture a guess. They can stop the funding cold, or at the least, slow it down. Depending on their determination or ability to resist Potomac poisoning, a Republican Congress could do a lot to cramp Obamao’s autocratic style.
