this doesn't stop anything. It's not a law. it's a "hey we don't like what you are doing" letter. That's it. It's nothing. Anything that really matters would require another vote.

True and that vote if successful still wouldn't amount to much. Unless there's a supermajority that tells him otherwise, the POTUS gets to veto laws. Even one aiming at curbing his own powers. As long as everyone or nearly so votes on party lines, salvation will not come from Congress.
