As the editors of The Weekly Standard suggested last week, Congress could pass a resolution of censure for the president’s conduct and his subsequent comments. Congress can also take steps with concrete consequences:
• Pass legislation imposing new sanctions on Russia in the event of any future attacks on our democratic process. Dare President Trump to veto it. Override him if he does.
• Hold hearings that would include in-depth testimony from the national security team on the Russian attacks, putting the case on the record (again), while putting pressure on members of the administration to correct the president’s comments. Similar hearings should focus on our commitments to NATO.
• Take up legislation that would protect the special counsel, Robert Mueller, from Mr. Trump. That bill has already been approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee with bipartisan support but has been blocked by the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell.
• Pass legislation that would limit President Trump’s power to impose unilateral tariffs without congressional approval.
• Call off the lap dogs. Speaker Paul Ryan could back up his verbal support for the Mueller probe by signaling to his colleagues that they should stop their attempts to obstruct and undermine the investigation. Better yet, he could force the embarrassing Devin Nunes, Republican of California, out of the chairmanship of the House Intelligence Committee.

The NYT giving the Republicans advice, eh? A perfect, reverse barometer if ever there was one.
The biggest threat to this nation is the Democrat party and it’s neo marxist leaders.
Just another Never Trumper. Intellectual snob.
After the election...I will have more flexibility
The Mueller probe is unconstitutional. Shut it down.
The Commucrats have failed in every attempt to dump Trump so now they want Republicans to do it for them.
Laughable.
Take up legislation that would protect the special counsel, Robert Mueller, from Mr. Trump …That would be unconstitutional.
Wisdom from the New York Slimes? Not so much.
Not a peep from these morons while Obamadork, the most treasonous and lawless piece of crap in history, was in office.
Where does the Slimes find these writers? Do they hire from The Onion?
The Old Gray Dinosaur should stick to what it does best.... which is?
Your post was correct, but under reached. I corrected it.

Reading The Great Revolt by Salena Zito...
The ruling class has no idea what happened....even I am stunned by the hate for DC ....by the fly over country democrats. and first time voters who voted for Trump
by first Time voters ...people who have not voted in years because they can not stand DC.. not younger voters
>>As the editors of The Weekly Standard suggested last week
These neo-feudalists need to go back to their cruise ship and leave the governing to real Americans.
Is this 'President by Committee'?
Does Trump have to get everything per-approved from here on?
Talking about hamstringing.
Sykes was/is a big time Never Trumper and Ted Cruz supporter.
Willing to rip the nation apart with their hate-full partisanship.
