11. I'm well aware of what the Heritage Foundation is

I'm not saying it's meaningless or not alarming that they published this opinion. But, not every single word that appears in their pubs reflects their official opinion, just as not everything in the NYT reflects that of the NYT editorial board. NYT publishes Op-Eds. The HF does similarly. Now, was this some sort of "guest essay"? I'm not sure, but just because it's in a HF publication doesn't mean it's an official HF stance. I'd like more detail on that question.

Luckily, even if the HF themselves THINK this actually is true, it's still bullshit. Congress doesn't have this power.
