    Are you serious?

    When Dem Congress goes his way, the common parlance is that the president, as leader of the Dems, gets the credit as “he did it”. If you want to be pedantic, no he didn’t directly do it. It’s just common parlance to give the president credit for the things he pushes for.

    He can ask the Dem House of Reps and Dem senators to do things, but that is not the same. If Congress says no, there’s very little he can do. The President does not have absolute control - to pass legislation takes Congress.

    Or things like banning Non-Compete clauses. That was a government agency, which gets appointments. Biden didn’t directly make that decision, it came from his (or other presidents) appointments.

    Then you have Executive Action (EA) which can be used for some things. You can’t use EA for all things. But EAs are not laws, they can be undone by the next president lickity split.

      You’re responding to either a troll or “progressive” who will find any reason to be disappointed and abstain from voting for a Dem. Don’t bother.

        As long as other people learn then I’m happy to do it.

          It’s much appreciated. There are people who would be swindled by these people if someone like you didn’t call them out.

      If Congress says no, there’s very little he can do

        There are some things, what you linked twice is emergency action. Another is executive action. But you can’t pass laws, pass a budget, etc without Congress.
