Is Congress on the fast track to irrelevance?

John Cole on dailykos.com:

"You want to know why the Presidency keeps getting more and more powerful? Because someone has to make decisions.

The House just voted against authorizing the Libya mission, then voted against defunding operations in Libya. I’d ignore those idiots, too. If I were President, until these clowns get their shit together, I’d pretty much do whatever I wanted."

I've a thought: Obama should ignore them on the debt ceiling too, and carry on with business as usual until the economy recovers.
