But his entire approach to Venezuela (and most of his policy) has been to use solely Executive power.

You've commented about this a lot, but you haven't mentioned if this was even legal. Or, specifically, a legal use of Executive power. I believe Congress already rescinded the 2002 special powers act (forget the exact title), so such actions should require the consent of Congress. No?

There is a further move in Congress, so I read, to further restrict his powers after this raid, including some Reps (in the Senate). Plus talk of impeachment because Congress didn't consent, and it was -in principle- illegal.

I'm a little behind on my Legal Eagle analysis, but I suspect he (and ScowlOwl) will deem these actions illegal.
