Congress Should Veto-Proof Itself

Legislators should agree among themselves to be team members and support veto overrides even when they hadn't supported the original legislation. This single strategy could help make Congress once again the most powerful branch of the federal government as originally intended by the Constitution.

Why is this important?

If enough members of Congress would agree to do this, it would restore the authority of Congress, which the people who drafted our Constitution intended to be the most powerful of the three branches. It would put needed limits on the imperial presidency we have seen under recent administrations of both parties.
