"bind" is hiding a lot of details in that sentence.

Ideally, the binding is limited to legal and/or normal procedural ramifications. But we've seen that Mr. Trump doesn't care about legality or procedures or even normality.

Some junior GOP house member might not be "bound" by Trump's executive orders, but he will surely face severe ramifications if he doesn't comply.

Partisanship and money have trumped (cough) any lingering organizational checks and balances designed into our government.
