"Perhaps we could ask Congress to do its job instead!"

What do you expect of Congress after being denigrated and marginalized by POTUS for the past 6 years? Let's be thankful the ACA was the only thing rammed through Congress. They have become the weakest leg of the stool.
But Congress is beginning to feel their oats, force debate on issues, and coming to understand that even a majority doesn't grant absolute power. It's time to marginalize the extremist, of both parties. Tell them to shut up, sit down, and let the adults work deals without their tantrums. Solid deals with some good for all and just a taste of bitter.
It's also time for the press to back away. Lots of impractical ideas are floated during the deal making process; ideas that will never be seen in the final product. But the press latches onto these ideas, inflames the opposition, and scuttles the deal. 

Perhaps Tweeter-in-Chief will marginalize the office of POTUS enough for Congress, and statesmanship, to rise again
