I blame the headline writer at The Hill, which the op was quoting. I think the limits of the Parliament's power are pretty clear in the text of the article. Headlines are often thrown together in a hurry, usually by someone other that the author of the peace. I've seen bloopers like this before, where a headline appeared to have been constructed by someone without a full understanding of an article's content.

In the Latest Breaking News forum, we are told to use the title exactly as it appears in the piece, so the inacuurate headline got perpetuated in the post's title. Unfortunate, but anyone who read the whole post would get a more nuanced view.
