Maybe our disagreement is that I’m more skeptical about the legislature proactively suggesting any good legislation? My default assumption is that without leadership, hardly anything of value gets done. Like, it’s an obviously good idea to repeal the Jones Act, and yet it’s persisted for a hundred years.

Congress does have leadership that’s separate from the president. People like Nancy Pelosi have political power.
You also have a lot of other organizations. Organizations like the Chamber of Commerce can drive legislative change as well.
