I'm not so sure they would go away without a fight. These are people who gave grown accustomed to breaking laws (including US laws), fomenting coups, and even assassinations in order to gain control. If Congress was seriously threatening to abolish them, Congressmen might start having a sharp uptick in "accidents". That's the problem with getting in bed with dubious characters.

At some point there's too much opposition to make it feasible to continue on. Really, though, I'd expect them to maintain Congress' support through non-lethal means. Bribery, blackmail, stuff like that. A Congressperson in your pocket is much more useful than a suspiciously-dead body. But still, if US citizens as a whole really wanted them gone, they'd just continue voting in people who will take a hard line against funding them. I don't expect something like this to come to pass, mind you, but it's possible.
