Cowardice in Congress: Should Congress Create Its Own Protection Service?
The Founding Fathers established certain budgetary discretions enabling each Branch to function without fear of bullying from another Branch. Unfortunately, over the past 250 years Congress has allowed the Executive Branch to control certain authorities over its two brother Branches. For example, the Executive Branch governs the protection services utilizing intelligence and law enforcement personnel (such as the Secret Service, FBI, etc.,) to provide security and protection for all three Branches.
This arrangement has worked for the past 250 years. However, the current Executive Branch has today become one that has opted to use its protection service authority to bully members of the other two Branches. This bullying has resulted in creating an atmosphere of mortal fear among members of the Legislative and Judicial Branches to the point that some members are so afraid of making decisions that will be disliked by the head of the Executive Branch (The President), that they now 'rubber stamp' many if not all of the President's decisions that are indisputably counter to the Constitution, public safety and international peace.
Simply by disapproving or removing necessary physical protection services from members of Congress and the Judiciary, along with creating an 'army' of thugs who vociferously threaten the lives of both Congresspersons and Judges, as well as their family members, the President can bully vulnerable people serving in his co-equal Branches of government into following his orders.
The Founding Fathers gave the Congress the exclusive authority to create (or un-create) federal agencies. The Congress has the authority to create a new Congressional Protection Service Agency designed to investigate, thwart and prosecute any individual or group who makes, expresses or acts upon a physical threat to any member of Congress or the Judiciary. Congress also has the authority to authorize full operation of this new agency under its own control with zero control, influence or involvement with or by the Executive Branch.
Legislation creating this new agency can be approved with the signature of President, as is normally required by the Constitution, or without the President's signature simply by overriding a President's veto.
By creating a Congressional Protection Service Agency, members of Congress and the Judiciary can feel secure in re-growing their spines and circumcising their cowardice knowing that no Executive will ever succeed in attempting to use bullying threats for the purpose of creating an authoritative and fascist government under an Executive. Members of Congress and the Judiciary can then carry out their Constitutional duties freely for the good of the country and the world.
