We have a two-party system, and no world government, or galactic referees to appeal to. The repercussions can only come from the other political party, which had many opportunities and strong desire by its constituents, and just... didn't. Not even things that the President can do without Congress.
Ostensibly because they were afraid of losing elections, but, well, here we are.
