Addressing the question, “If President Bush decided to invade Iran, could Congress stop him?” Darcy writes:

Could Congress, indeed? President Bush has amply demonstrated he believes there are no limits to his power. The current Republican-controlled House and the Senate have not stood in his way. And the independence of the judicial branch, our last resort, is endangered with the confirmation of Chief Justice John Roberts and the nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.

The Constitution was set up with a system of checks and balances to keep power distributed; can we make those checks work?

Of course, we have to start by regaining control of some piece of the government.
Let’s start with the comparatively low-hanging fruit: suppose we win the fifteen seats we need for a majority in the House of Representatives in 2006, and suppose that is all we gain. If we control only the House – but not the Senate or the Presidency – can we stop him?
