"Meijer stated, 'I think we have a legitimate problem when we have a Congress that doesn't feel like it has a sense of ownership.' He emphasized the need for Congress to take initiative rather than waiting for presidential commands."
"McGowan argued, 'The Republicans have the majority, so they could absolutely get things done, and they're not getting things done because they just wait at the command of the president.' She highlighted the lack of action despite their control."
"Meijer predicted agreement with McGowan, saying, 'I think that one of the longest lasting and best things that Donald Trump could do is say, you know what, I'm going to be the last imperial presidency.'"
"McGowan reacted humorously, exclaiming, 'Oh my God! Hell just froze over!' in response to Meijer's suggestion about Trump's presidency."
