Letter to editor: President Biden falsely claims he is a helpless victim with gun control legislation.
President Biden falsely claims he is a helpless victim when he passes the buck to Congress on gun control legislation. It is not possible for him to be so clueless that he genuinely believes all he can do is sit on his hands and moan,"Gee whiz. I sure hope Congress comes up with something on guns."
Biden is not helpless, and he has to know it. When he was vice president he stood by while his boss, Barack Obama, routinely bypassed Congress when he enacted, by presidential fiat, things he knew he could never get Congress to pass: • DACA: With a stroke of his pen, Obama overrode standing immigration law. The Constitution is unambiguous in stating that passing and changing federal laws is the prerogative of Congress, not the president.
• The Paris Climate Accord: This agreement had the full effect of a treaty. The Constitution is unambiguous in stating that treaties with foreign governments must be approved by Congress, not the president.In all of these matters Obama never played the"helpless victim" card. He just went ahead and put himself above the law and did what he wanted. Biden could do the same but doesn't have to run roughshod over the Constitution as Obama did.
Presidents are legally entitled to draft legislation. They simply write it, then summon their party's Congressional leaders and give them their marching orders:"Get it passed."
