Plenary power is granted in absolute terms, with no review of or limitations upon the exercise of that power. The assignment of a plenary power to one body divests all other bodies from the right to exercise that power
Plenary powers are not subject to judicial review

Sooo... Healthcare for all?
We have the money. They just have everyone distracted by a race war while the pedophilic billionaire class hoards it all. The top 1% hold the same wealth as the bottom 90% of us. Every problem is this problem. Every issue is a distraction from this.

The last time tRump’s Rasmussen approval rating came close to 57% was Jan. 23, just three days into his term, when the pollster recorded it at 56%
