As New Congress Convenes, Republicans Face Challenges | Richard Warren Meirowitz

It should have been the first day of a winning season, or the first day of school for a group of gleeful seniors who had waited years to be the ones totally in charge.

Instead, Republicans returning to the Capitol on Tuesday faced some unsettling realities regarding the limits of their power.

For one, leaders can't always control their rank-and-file, be they relatively new House Freedom Caucus members bent on upending government as we know it, or veteran Republican senators like John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who are emerging as the party's most prominent voices geared toward keeping President-elect Donald Trump in check.

Other lessons: Public opinion still matters, even after the election is finished. And despite being in the minority, Democrats matter, too – especially in the Senate, where much of the GOP's looming agenda will face filibuster threats.

The day started on a note of division and anxiety, as Republicans awakened to a barrage of criticism over their Monday night, behind-closed-doors decision to defang the Office of Congressional Ethics. By late morning, the caucus had dropped the plan, but not before exposing weaknesses of the GOP leadership and generally sullying the day for eager new lawmakers who traipsed through their workplace with starry-eyed spouses and kids fidgeting in their dress-up clothes.

"The perception's not good," said Rep. Lou Barletta, a Pennsylvania Republican who had opposed weakening the ethics office from the outset.

His Democratic colleague, Massachusetts Rep. James McGovern, was more direct and more than a little less forgiving.

"They tried to pull a fast one and they were called on it," says McGovern, a senior member of the House Rules Committee. "The response was overwhelming and they caved, and I think that's a good thing. I'd like to see them cave more often."

The impact of the early melee goes far beyond the question of whether the House needs an ethics panel aside from its Committee on Ethics, McGovern adds. "One of these days, [Republicans are] going to realize they don't have a mandate," he says.

Republicans do, however, have majorities in both chambers of Congress and as of Jan. 20, will control the executive branch as well. Democrats may continue to point to the popular vote totals that have Democrat Hillary Clinton earning nearly 3 million more votes than Trump, but the GOP will have an unusual trifecta of power this year – and they're eager to use it.

"I think the current administration has done an incredible job of setting the table for early successes," says Sen. Roy Blunt, a Missouri Republican sworn in Tuesday to a second Senate term. Late rules and regulatory actions by outgoing President Barack Obama can be undone quickly by executive order or the Congressional Review Act, Blunt notes, and both the incoming White House and congressional Republicans are determined to dismantle.

But on many other issues, Republicans may not have such smooth sailing. The snafu over the ethics panel was deeply embarrassing to House Republican leaders, who argued against disempowering the ethics office but failed to convince their own members of the pubic relations disaster awaiting them.

Only after a tweet of annoyance from Trump – who said he didn't so much like the ethics office as he disliked starting out the congressional session with a partisan slam at the watchdog – and pushback from good-government groups and the public did lawmakers retreat.

Asked if the leadership from him and House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin was weak, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California deflected the question.

"Man, welcome back," McCarthy told reporters. "You know, at my house, I usually don't win what we watch on TV."

McCain, meanwhile, has teamed up with Graham to demand a probe and punishment of Russia for alleged election-related computer hacking, despite Trump's assertion that "we ought to get on with our lives."

"I have a long history" of taking GOP presidents to task when it's warranted, McCain says. "I said Ronald Reagan was wrong when he sent troops to Beirut. I said the secretary of defense ought to be fired when I saw we were losing in Iraq" during the George W. Bush administration.

"I've not treated President[-elect] Trump any differently than I've treated previous presidents of my own party," McCain said.

As McCain spoke, Vice President Joe Biden, who had arrived to conduct the ceremonial swearings-in of new and returning senators, leaned in between him and a reporter.

"Thank God he's here. Thank God he's here. Thank God he's here," Biden said, reflecting not just the genuine affection he has for his former Senate colleague, but the relief many Democrats feel over McCain's role as a Republican unafraid to take on his own party or presidents.

Republicans must keep their promises to keep their majorities, McCain says – and that means keeping a pledge to repeal the Affordable Care Act. But that, too, is a complicated task from both a logistical and political perspective.
