That will be fun.
and that the House doesn't report to him.
the election of Trump, republican "leadership" will feel voter anger in a little less than 2 years. I'm not predicting democrats will take back congress, but I suspect many establishment republicans will go the way of Eric Cantor.
The 17th Amendment removed the primary watchdog, the primary check on the growth of the Federal Government, by making Senators responsible to the people, and not the States. If the Senate didn't have to worry about reelection by the people, we never would have had Obamacare in the first place. Absent repeal of the 17th, we are stuck in a death spiral, because systemically, it is impossible to stop entitlements and therefore impossible to stop our slow march to economic collapse. The goal is European socialist utopia...but we won't have a United States to defend us for free while we grow our entitlements. Trump was a nice thought...we needed something radical. But, he will likely not be enough.
Trump will have to start working on primary challenges now, if he is to succeed. He will essentially have to develop a new party within the GOP.
Excuses, excuses...

He is going to struggle with the whole separate-but-equal branches thing for quite a while, it seems.

If I were him, I'd resign.
but in the end I think the bill will be voted out of the House and killed in the Senate.
But then, I don't like any of the GOP
Outside Bill Weld and sometimes McCain - they aren't worth the Ash they end up as.
As Conor has pointed out, he hopes they pass this HC bill and Americans will finally notice, the GOP doesn't give one iota of deference to the American citizen. It's just about being in power and in two years, at the State level and in both houses will see a change in who is elected.
The GOP does this to themselves but every 4 to 8 years they're able to talk enough citizens back into believing their talk of being for
the American workers and their families - as Palin put it, "Main Street" they find out the GOP are just an extension of Corp conglomerates. HRC didn't run a smart campaign but falling for this dunderhead (and any GOP) is on the American people for not giving due diligence in discovering the Truths being offered on Trump. The D' aren't much better but what Trump, McConnell, Ryan and the rest are doing will stuff the citizens here into a box we may never get out of.
