Ro, they don't. They've got Jared and His Lardship in their pocket. If those two can't hang on to the leadership of the US, the Saudis will make nice with whomever gets it next.Members of the United States Congress criticised President Donald Trump's veto of a resolution that would have ended US military support for the Saudi-UAE war in Yemen, calling it a "missed opportunity".

"This resolution is an unnecessary, dangerous attempt to weaken my constitutional authorities, endangering the lives of American citizens and brave service members, both today and in the future," Trump said in a statement.
[...]
"From a president elected on the promise of putting a stop to our endless wars, this veto is a painful missed opportunity," said Democrat Ro Khanna, who was the lead sponsor of the bill in the US House of Representatives.
"This resolution nonetheless was a major win," Khanna said in a statement. "It sends a clear signal to the Saudis that they need to lift their blockade and allow humanitarian assistance into Yemen if they care about their relationship with Congress."

Which brings me to my next point: If Congress were something to be feared by the Saudis, Congress would override Trump's veto. It won't.The Yemen War Powers Resolution was a bipartisan effort to promote an end to the world's largest humanitarian crisis, Khanna said.
The bill was supported by Democrats and some of the president's Republican allies in Congress, including Senator Rand Paul and Representative Mark Meadows, among others.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
