So I don’t have to look it up, exactly what powers are given to congress in the Constitution in this area.
The opinion actually lays that out quite nicely:
Quote:Congress (or one of its chambers) may hold officers in contempt, withhold appropriations, refuse to confirm the President’s nominees, harness public opinion, delay or derail the President’s legislative agenda, or impeach recalcitrant officers.
I mean, the public opinion one isn't really a constitutional power, but the rest all tie back to the authority granted Congress in the Constitution.
