Just dismiss the senators as official business. What still stands in the way of a total power grab by a US president?
As long as it’s official business and they keep it official by officially removing all obstacles, they are legally perfectly in the clear. IANAL obviously, but total power seems just a matter of being audacious enough to grab it.
I used to have my pockets always filled, but since a couple of years I have a leather bag (i.e. a manpurse or as my wife calls it: the gay bag) in which I have my work phone, keys, wallet, chewing gum, sunglasses, reading glasses, paper tissues and sometimes a drinking bottle. Also occasionally a book.
