Remember during the campaign when  GOP lawmakers in congress promised to be a check on the Trump if he stepped out of line as president?

House Speaker Paul Ryan, claimed that Trump would not have a “blank check,” and added that he “would sue any president that exceeds his or her powers.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he believed Trump would understand “the limits of his authority” after he was sworn in..."

Senator Marco Rubio said, “No matter who is elected president of the United States,” we are going to “need a Senate that has people willing to check and balance that.”

Sen. Orrin Hatch said, “You’ve got to make sure you have someone like Orrin Hatch to ensure a President Trump toes the line.”

Senator John McCain said, "I still believe we have the institutions of government that would restrain someone..." He did not believe Trump would threaten the rule of law. "We have a Congress. We have the Supreme Court. We’re not Romania.”
