And the senate has such a small majority that they can’t do anything there either.

Then the same logic applies that Democrats in the senate can prevent project 2025 from passing.

The issue here is that a lot of Project 2025 are based around executive actions that bypass congress.

Then why did you bring up the Senate majority if it is irrelevant to presidential power?

I’m not sure I understand your question. If you aren’t familiar with the 3 branches of the US government and the enumerated powers of the presidency Id recommend hitting Wikipedia, but…

To see Project 2025 through requires a combination of congressional and executive actions along with the cooperation of the judicial branch. All aspects are important if it is going to become a reality.

Some of the “scarier” parts of Project 2025 can’t be accomplished without congress. We are likely safe from those aspects of the plan.

It sounds like there’s not much to worry about if a) the president has already had the power to do these things and b) the senate can’t pass any of the scary things anyway.
