One of the strangest developments of the previous decade or two is the idea that Congress works for the president. That's basically antithetical to the way separation of powers is supposed to work. Even the president's cheerleaders in Congress are supposed to feign giving him the business now and then just to make sure they can get what they want when they want it. I think the Iraq War broke the system in ways we're still only beginning to appreciate.
