Does Congress Matter?

According to a Boston Globe article, Congress can only blame itself for the strengthening of executive power:

"But even as Congress bestirs itself to seek limits on the president's power, the question remains: How much can it do? Over the last half century, historians and political scientists observe, Congress's clout has waned as dramatically as the executive's has grown, especially in national security matters. And Congress itself is largely to blame."
