Quoting myself from another source:
"It is within the power of the Legislative branch of the government to end the partial shutdown of the government. It requires that the necessary spending bills be passed with a veto-proof majority.
"Taking this fact into consideration, it's possible to view the present situation as one in which the Congress of the United States of America is currently putting party considerations ahead of consideration for the separateness of the legislative branch -- its freedom from subservience, if you will -- from the administrative branch.
"It can be argued that on the issue of the wall funding, Senate Majority Leader Addison McConnell has done what is noted above. He has stated that he will not allow a bill concerning the wall funding to reach the floor of the Senate unless it is pre-approved by President of the United States of America Donald Trump. This essentially hands control of the Senate of the United States of America to the administrative branch on this issue."
