I could see senators getting very concerned about their personal loss of power and pushing back on this, but I could also see them just following Trump’s orders and hoping their loyalty pays off.

That's the weird one in this case. The choices are retain power and lobbyist income ... or cede both in the hopes the rest of the coup works and they get cushy gigs in the junta.
