President Biden is trying to legislate from the Executive Office, which isn’t really how this whole separation of powers thing works.
While he’s no longer in the Senate, he’s still acting like he is by trying to change policies. And he’s likely being shoved into a corner by leftist special interests, demanding he check off every radical item on their wish list.
President Biden has signed a record number of executive actions in his first weeks in office—more than any other recent president and nearly as many as FDR who previously held the record.
Now over 40.
Some of the radical policies President Biden has pushed through via executive fiat include:
Rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement
Directing federal agencies to boost the minimum wage to $15 for federal workers and requiring federal contractors to pay their employees $15 minimum wage
Reopening the Affordable Care Act marketplace and overstepping states on Medicaid policy
Some of the strong policies he has overturned include:
Resuming funding for the World Health Organization
Stopping construction of the border wall
Rescinding the requirement for federal agencies to repeal two regulations for every new one they enact
This is executive overreach.
President Biden is changing policies that affect every aspect of American life unilaterally, on his own, without the checks and balances of the Legislative Branch.
So much for “unity” and running to the left, yet governing in the middle. It seems like that was swapped in the wash.
