Actually, Congress' powers do not include taking away the President's powers, even if he is exercising ones he shouldn't. The courts are the ones that invalidate illegal uses of Presidential power, not Congress.

Congress makes the laws, but the President controls the FBI. Congress can't order anyone arrested, because Congress has no police power. Congress' sole method of enforcing its will is impeachment.
