Not at all, for at least two reasons:

  • There's zero need for it, considering both branches of the US's one-party state will carry out all the policies of its ruling class with equal vigour.
  • It's useful to maintain the semblance of professionality and consistency that these constitutional / legislative customs give to the US government.

If the Democrats believed their propaganda about Trump they would have done literally anything to turn those norms into laws when they had control of both houses at the start of biden's presidency. They're lying to you.
