Ok, but, they have actually gotten directly involved in aviation matters in very specific terms, and they do so regularly. This isn't theoretical and I'm not hypothesizing; they've actually done it, a lot. Usually it's to tell Aeromedical to knock it off (a famously dysfunctional division), and a few years ago Congress ordered the FAA to make a whole separate medical track that routes around the FAA almost completely. So it wouldn't surprise me at all to see them step in here. You'd be surprised how many people in Congress are pilots and are quite happy to tell the FAA where to stick it.
