    He can propose laws to the legislative bramch. He might not be able to pass it himself but he could push and advocate for it

      I’m sure the GOP-led house would be very receptive to that

        Oh what does it hurt then?

        Can’t say anything, because of the GOP.

        Super cool having a democrat president who’s got no balls. Can’t offend the house.

          What does it hurt? Political capital, for one.

          Also, you don’t just say, “let’s make a law about X”, and a 3,000 page bill just appears in front of you. That shit takes TONS of work. Biden can’t just materialize a workable plan that both parties (in this political climate? lol) will ever agree on.

          That just isn’t how this country works. If you want this to change, Congress has to change it.
