The United States Congress can find a higher authority than Verisign, that being the Constitution and Legislation of the United States. With this, they could conceivably create or pass legislation removing Verisign from power. No doubt such legislation would initially be complex, obtuse, and poorly worded. This same power also allows them to declare war on orbital lasers and the like. Handy that. Fortunately for the US Congress, they have many staff members and legal experts that keep things tidy. That's the benefit of absolute power after all.. ..you can have someone around to keep everything neat. Subsequent rules not only must prove me wrong by finding a higher power, they must also show how it's neat.
