> There is no mechanism for Republicans to limit Congress from "addressing" anything. Except for Sen. McConnell (like when he limited Congress from addressing Merrick Garland's Supreme Court nomination, neglecting his and other Republican Senators' duty to "advise and consent" on the President's nominations), though, to be fair, he has been far more reasonable since dumping President Trump. But, generally speaking, that is basically the playbook of Republicans in Congress. They've been a powerful and overrepresented minority for more than two decades, so they can't move forward with their own agenda, they instead stall all other agendas, and nothing gets done. Then they complain during elections that Democrats can't get anything done. It's gaslighting, pure and simple. Republicans gaslight not only the vast, vast majority of their own party, more than 99%, they also gaslight American voters and Democratic Senators and Representatives. They can't win by playing fair and honest, so they haven't bothered with that honorable tactic in, well, decades. Republicans are and have been holding the country hostage and have turned the US Senate into a ineffective legislative body and basically have made a farce of the Framers' intentions. They're anarchists, basically. Republicans and anarchists have more in common than what distinguishes them.
