The President and the courts didn't neuter Congress. Congress neutered itself.
Over the past several decades, Congress has been less and less able to pass legislation, less and less able to work with itself, eventually even unable to pass a budget (which is their most fundamental, basic duty). How many years of the last decade has Congress passed a budget? That would have been unthinkable 50 years ago.
Congress is broken, not because the President broke it, not because the courts broke it, but because party politics and the primary system broke it.
The President has ruled more and more by executive order, partly by overreach, and partly by necessity, because Congress can't or won't do their job.
I don't think that the courts stripped power from Congress by overturning Chevron. They stripped it from the executive branch.
The courts are mostly responsible for breaking Congress. Why? Citizens United. This is the case that decided "money equals speech" and allowed for unlimited dark money to be spent buying Congress.
I would say that plus Roe v. Wade. That created for people to be ideologically interested in controlling the Supreme Court. And Congress was a way to get that. So Roe v. Wade created the reason, and Citizens United created the means.
