We're getting closer to that result. Yesterday the Post chronicle of the Bushies experience on 9/11-13 ended with an anecdote about the desire of the Congress to reconvene on 9/12 as a show of defiance. Members had been sequestered at assorted locations in the area and would need transport to get back to the Hill. The White House forbid any session taking place. Senator Nickles, a conservative Repub, said to Cheney that the Congress was a co-equal branch of government. Cheney replied, "we control the helicopters."
