The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I found it interesting that no matter how much detail you provide regarding the law, and supporting links, some people insist that a potus can just bypass all that.

They seem to refuse to accept that congressional action is necessary.


------------------

I have come learn that congressional action is necessary. The president cannot hide from the issue claiming congress is the problem. Fine, you recognize their is a problem, a leader overcomes problems. POTUS can and should be out there, advocating legislation, pushing, shaming proposing, at every opportunity.

Instead Biden is silent, he made a day 1 proposal that was a non starter and has been silent on the subject since. Telling us how mean the conservatives are or how Abbott is demon is not what I a talking about. Biden does plenty of that. I mean he could be advocating for legislation with some open mindedness to incorporate conservative ideas into the plan.

Trump was up against the same legislation that Biden is. But that didn't stop Trump, you knew he was trying. No so much with Joe.
