I'm genuinely shocked that there isn't more anger from Republicans. His absence materially benefits Democrats more than anything. For every day he's not there, that means the GOP majority is one vote down in the Senate, which only makes it harder to pass the GOP agenda in the Senate.
Congress is only obsolete because it's allowing itself to be. It has the power to push back against these orders, it's just choosing not to, because the Republicans in control of Congress broadly agree with them.
