So Republicans haven't passed one piece of major legislation yet (and they still haven't)

If Trump hasn't enough power to solve any of this can't we just impeach him? It's not like he can do anything anyway with McConnell in such a strong position. That way we can at least appease more than 50% of voters in the country.

I'd say that McConnell would've had a proper justificarion for this had Trump refused to sign the Russia Sanctions bill.

iirc He needs both houses of congress to impeach Trump, and while I know that McConnell and Ryan can both secure that sort of support (added to the Democrats', of course), next year happens to be an election year. There are some people who don't want to be primaried out of their seats.

He signed it.  That would be a death wish if he vetoed it.  There is already Russian collusion allegiations so of course he signed it.

And there is an obvious reason he signed it.  He would have been overwritten on his veto.
