That was the point of having divided government--each branch wouldn't roll over and yield its authority and prerogatives but guard them and preserve them.

We've seen a lot of obedience with calls to "do their job" and just go with the majority at times, and even mild outrage (if not greater) when one chamber of Congress dared to defy the President!

It's silliness. We have three independent parts of government--with the presidency being the last among equals--and with one branch being split between equals.
