This is what Republican businessmen and Republican politicians do. They cut deals at the executive level and present them to their board of directors as a fait accompli for rubber-stamp approval. 

Why wouldn't it be different in government? You want your government to be run more like a business, don't you? No, actually we don't. We have a representative democracy. You have no experience with that coming to government as a CEO. A business is not a democracy; it's an autocracy, sometimes a dictatorship. Government is not like the military where the general gives orders and his troops say "Aye, aye sir." Your "employees" in government are not "at will" and they are not yours. You have no employees in government, you have independently elected stakeholders in the enterprise of governance who have their own bosses, their constituencies, and their own power loci. You cannot hire and fire, promote and demote, at will. 

In government you cannot present a mammoth project that affects each and everyone of those individual stakeholders and their bosses in a massive bill and give them one day to read it all and rubber-stamp your deal. You are not a king and this is not your kingdom. 

Yet, this bullying business owner behavior is what Republican governors and presidents and would-be presidents do. It's what DeSantis did repeatedly to Republican state legislators in Florida. "Here, sign here. Just sign it!" at 4:59 p.m. It's what Youngkin did in Virginia. Youngkin didn't grease the wheels then hold the press conference; he held the press conference and then sent the locomotive down the track and right into a stone wall. 

Youngkin made the arena project the personal kingdom of him and his business partner, Ted Leonsis. To Youngkin's political opponents it was "Glendom". And so the Army of Northern Virginia, like the repeal of Obamacare, ran right into a stone wall.
