7. here is the connundrum

They have to decide if they

a) that the President's bold action is in fact bold action but only the result of their 'shaming' him into doing it


or


b) that the President's bold action is not a fact because he wasn't bold enough. He shouldn't have moved to decrease the military but done away with either the Marines or the Air Force altogether, and he shouldn't have made 4 recess appointments but he should have had every single appointed position resign so he could have appointed thousands.

Its having to decide between a) being successful in pressuring the President or b) being unsuccessful because the President is more conservative than Herbert Hoover, you can go on the internets and see evidence of both.
