The calls for use of executive power comes as McConnell maintains control of the Senate, at least for now, and it will be a point of contention with moderates like Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who have called on Biden to govern through bipartisanship and consensus.
Biden"should be looking at executive actions," said Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii."He's not gonna let the Senate and Mitch McConnell — if he still is holding forth — to stop what we need to be doing for our country." "We've watched Mitch. He's ruthless," she said."And he apparently doesn't care about the impact of his blocking everything on the country. He's done it before."Jeff Hauser, a progressive strategist who runs the Revolving Door Project that vets Cabinet appointees, said Biden should not wait for Congress to pass new laws but to look for existing laws to advance his agenda.
The courts could be a hurdle for Biden. The Supreme Court's new 6-3 conservative majority may have a more limited view of the extent of Biden's executive authority after Republicans
Idgaf bout Daca all they do is com here pop out a brat get on FS & wanna b an American citizen blks need reparations from slavary do dat 1$t
Your so funny NBC.. You still have an acting President. President Donald T. , at least until January 20th, 2021. And most likely 45th.... until 2024💪🇺🇸
Wtf os a progressive immigration system?
I need free monies too
Welp it's a precedent Trump set so it's fine.
Let’s try to work with everyone first, that was a mentality of the last administration, not something that should be quickly repeated.
This makes me so mad! You can’t do anything to help him with the transition..as urgent as that is..but you can speak about what you think he should do the first week in office Give me a break!! Do something about the transition delay. Fire Murphy and sign the letter!! Please.
We don’t care if he gets anything done. Sign it into law
Good. Just like Don did
senatemajldr SenSchumer executive orders only allow people to play more games. It is time to earn that $193,400 & end $250k yearly salary to people with eight years experience. B******* Enough executive orders. Do your job.
He also needs to use Executive Power to punish GOPs who are refusing to see him as President elect and causing problems for transition. I hope when he finally gets into WH, him and VP Harris will not forget this. ✊
Fantastic
I bought a house I cannot afford and made other bad investment choices. I think the govt should bail me out.
We don't have president elected, as any official source confirm. Stop the fake news
Pull out all the stops. Bypass McConnell all the way.
In other words abdicate your duty as an elected legislator. Why do we even waste money on Congress when the President can legislate by executive order?
'And save reality....' BillAndTed3
No to paying for someone's college choices, didn't need the Cadillac when the Geo would do.
President-elect Biden appears to be a good man. He supported the UK in 1982 against the murderous dictatorship in Argentina.
None of which is that far out of the mainstream.
realDonaldTrump SidneyPowell1 Trump,you must overturn this sham election.There were no excuses to shut all the machines in battle States to recount next days while our president was way ahead late night 12 am&Biden panicked&came out at 11pm scared&desperate
DO SOMETHING...NOW...WHAT ARE YOU WAITING ON..WHY are you letting them walk all over this election..
Money evidently grows on trees for the Dems...and by the way, Biden is not the President elect and he’ll never be my President, no matter what..🤓
Absolutely NO on forgiving student debt. As an individual student YOU made the decision to take-on tuition debt. Now, YOU are responsible to repay that debt, period! What rationale allows for this debt forgiveness - I DO NOT want to have my tax $’s pay that debt!!!!!
he’s not president yet
Let`s piss them off
The Dems just spent 4 years claiming to be against autocracy. If only we’d been warned.
No need to ask him to do that. If the GOP gets the Senate, that's all he would need to be using to get things done. He wouldn't have a choice.
Sure. Everything should be free and we should let anyone into the country. Makes sense. To anyone without a functioning brain.
Yes, Thankyou
I felt a great disturbance in the economy, as if millions of wallets suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
Executive orders on climate change would be nice. Anything else NO.
That good ol' 'Official President-Elect Biden Executive Power'... Has everybody shaking in our boots🤣
This can’t be NBC News. I know they cannot be this dumb. Biden has as much power as the goober in my nose right now. If he did what’s the point of inauguration.
....not to mention COVID
'Executive power to fight climate change', while at the same time creating a 'more progressive immigration system'. That completely contradicts itself. Average GHG emissions per person, 8.5 tonnes per person, multiply that by number of immigrants and what do you get? BULLSHIT
Omg they all need to chill if he is president it’s not until January 20th. He’s done nothing for 50 years what’s the rush now
He should. Trump was allowed to do it.
Watch that thousands won’t follow the laws as they did under Obama. States suing President as before and hold up in courts.
In 2017 ordinary citizen and lawyer Kathy Boockvar tweeted that Trump was “dangerously unfit” to be president. In 2019 she was appointed to Secretary of State of Pennsylvania, head of elections. That seems like an unbiased person for the job. 🤮
Biden❤❤❤
Good they better
Seems shortsighted.
GOP lie and cheat as surely as they breathe. They are full of lies,and the truth is not in them. They wouldn’t know the truth if it beat them by 6 million votes and 74 electoral college votes. GOP “can’t handle the truth”. Trump is a legend in his own mind, the great White Hoax!!
Democratic Senators better start being a bit more forceful on calling on their R colleagues to support pres-elect Biden and pushing GSAEmily to start the TransitionNow. Am getting really tired of all this inaction.
Wouldn't republicans just sue to all the trump appointed judges?
And legalize cannabis on the federal level.
EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak drafted the Lancet statement, and that he intended it to “not be identifiable as coming from any one organization or person” but rather to be seen as “simply a letter from leading scientists to avoid appearance of a political statement”.
Balls! Finally! Showing some balls!😷🇺🇸
...yo...a president-elect doesn’t have executive powers. factsmatter propaganda agendasetting
You wanna bypass him bypass his sorry ass and pass a stimulas so we can eat!!!!
AGREED!!! NO BEING NICE! Let’s meet them where they are!!!!
Biden hasn't taken the reigns yet, Moscow doesn't have the senate yet!! Quit putting the cart before the horse!!! quit demanding anything!!! Lest you forget IMPOTUS still there until 1/20/2021 12:01 p.m. Biden has to get settled first!
Yeah who needs Congress? Who needs checks and balances? This democracy stuff is a hassle
Joke Biden will do whatever the Establishment tells him to do. And once they get him out of office, that girl who ran with him will do the same
Keep going. Basic minimum wage. Universal healthcare. Term limits. Demilitarize the police.
Trump has shown us that if you can't get congress to help, do it on your own!
There's just one little problem it's orange it stinks like s*** and it won't leave
The senate is a do nothing cess pool of swamp creature republicans.
