I'm talking more in a general "government-fuck-up" way. That specific part about Congress is more of a head-off on them trying to duck out from any blame.
And there is always SOMETHING Congress can do. I believe they passed a law that started the process; they could have passed one that ended it well before two weeks before the deadline.
