    Jesus ModestMeme… I think your stupidity broke my brain

    The President can’t write a law or simply decree a law to be over. That’s up to Congress. Not the President.

    You can view a president as having direct control over law all you want.

    > BIDEN: No, no, no, no, I’d make the changes on the corporate taxes on day one.

    IT"S A MOTHER FUCKING TRANSCRIPT OF HIS EXACT WORDS!!! HE"S THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE REPRESENTING THE DNC AS A WHOLE!!

    This is the exact problem people have with the democratic party that you just seem to hand wave away. They’re saying whatever shit they want and NOT FOLLOWING THROUGH BECAUSE IT WAS A HOLLOW PROMISE THEY LIED ABOUT AND NEVER SHOULD HAVE SAID!!

      Biden can ask of Congress anything on day one -as any president can- but he can not write a law. You can take Biden’s words to mean that he himself was going to decree a change to the tax code or you can accept that his words were confined to his executive powers to ask Congress to do this.

      I don’t know why sooo many people confuse the power of the president with that of a dictator. If a president can decree a law then why the fuck do we have a Congress?!

        Ok the link didn’t load as expected… Fourth paragraph is the relevant part on law. The rest of the article is pretty interesting as well.
