Welch’s current Senate office materials and recent press-release activity show him actively using legislation, amendments, votes, letters, oversight requests, and public demands for answers to challenge presidential actions and executive overreach. That matches the promise to keep checking executive overreach, and the evidence shows continuing same-term conduct rather than a retreat.
