As long as we keep voting for them, they will do as much of whatever they want that they can get away with. They're politicians, not statesmen.

But I imagine they mostly persuade themselves that whatever they are doing is the right thing for the folks they represent.

Are congressmen not elected representatives of the people, to enable forming a government ?


Yes. And within that framework, they do as they please.
