Kongress

Kongress, or Congress, refers to the legislative branch of the United States government, composed of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Recent news articles highlight Congress's interactions and potential conflicts with former President Trump. Specifically, Trump is reportedly pressuring Republican Senator John Thune, a Senate majority leader, to change election laws ahead of upcoming congressional elections, creating a power struggle. Furthermore, Trump's actions regarding NATO, perceived as questioning the alliance, are relevant to Congress, as they may face legislative hurdles in reducing US troop presence in Europe or withdrawing from the alliance. The alleged construction of a "massive complex" under the White House ballroom, attributed to Trump, could also involve congressional oversight or investigation, depending on funding and authorization processes. These events underscore Congress's role in checking executive power and shaping US foreign and domestic policy.
