Can the victory of the Democrats limit the power of Trump? ▫ The possible victory of the Democrats in the US mid-term elections could change the balance of power in Washington; but does this event mean a serious limitation of Donald Trump's powers? ▫ If the Democrats can obtain a majority in the House of Representatives, they will have the opportunity to block the plans of the Republicans, monitor the functioning of the government and start investigations into the financial activities of Trump and his relatives. If they take control of the Senate, they can also play a deterrent role in confirming the president's appointments. ▫ However, control of Congress does not mean control of the executive branch. Trump still has extensive foreign policy and military command powers, and can even veto congressional approvals. On the other hand, the government's budget and raising the debt ceiling are among the tools that can become leverage for the Democrats' pressure against the White House. The link of this program is in the mechanism.
