Fwiw I seriously doubt that the current situation will ever end, for as long as the USA continues to exist.
Even if theoretically it were to temporarily halt in a couple years, would that usher in a new era of Congressional responsibility? Which might last let’s say up to four years, prior to returning to something very much like the current situation?
