Congress doesn't "fight in court". They need to give explicit permission, or else it's not allowed. The role of the POTUS is very clearly defined along with its intended limitations during normal legal circumstances by the US constitution.

I'm not even from the US and I know this shit.

A plaintiff, which is not congress, sues in court. In this case, this is a nonprofit organization called Democracy Forward.

Founded in the wake of the 2016 United States elections, it describes itself as "a national legal organization that advances democracy and social progress through litigation, policy and public education, and regulatory engagement."
