2. They haven't...

Actually done anything in so long, I doubt that they remember how. If they ever knew.

3. Challenge DJT

DJT's authority should be challenged at every turn.
His legitimacy can only be restored by 2/3 vote in both Houses of Congress.
He is disqualified by his own actions (the Insurrection) on Jan 6th, 2021,
He was found GUILTY in 2 states (CO & ME) and the House Select Committee of Jan 6.

Until his disability is repaired he remains DQ'd.

"...shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
