    Yeah, what crimes? And what consequences? They can't do anything to Trump.

    Checks and balances. Last time I checked we didn't have a dictatorship.

    Are you really asking for how Congress has oversight of the executive branch?

    In a united Congress, they can completely remove him. They can also override vetos and they control the purse strings.

    This isn't a united Congress though. Most they can do now is control the purse strings, but that sticks us into situations like we have now.

    They can also cede Congressional authority to the President, which I think they've done a little too much of in the last hundred years.
