To be clear, the sovereign is generally considered to be vested in Congress as representatives of the true sovereign, the people.

  • That’s not true at all. The people selected an executive.

    • Sorry, do you think Congress just like appears? Remember that the people do NOT select the executive, the electoral college does. And the electoral college is in turn selected by states.

What does being sovereign have to do with anything in this case?

  • The sovereign is the ultimate authority. In the USA “we the people” delegate the sovereign power to our elected officials.

    They are now exercising that power in the interest of the people (they believe) that grant that power.
