Trump’s “remove two regulations for every new regulation” Executive Order seems like it would effectively make congress completely pointless. Basically it would double or triple debate, because now besides voting on new laws, they have to vote on which old laws to get rid of, and at some point they’d be at an impasse where they can’t pass any new laws lest they rescind something everyone agrees is necessary (like they wouldn’t be able to ban some new addictive drug unless they also decriminalized murder). Which means we’d be paying them to do nothing.
