Is President Biden going too far with his executive orders?

[StarfishSaver]

I mean, c'mon, Joe ... Maybe you need to slow your roll for a few days.



On edit: It amazes me that this is even necessary, but:

[SlogginThroughIt]

1. Hey we warned them back when W was doing it

They didn't want to heed our warnings then that if W made this the norm that this would happen.

[True Dough]

2. This thread should be deleted

BY EXECUTIVE ORDER!!!

[StarfishSaver]

3. Don't give him any ideas

That could be next.

[Cetacea]

4. "Sleepy Joe"

Heads are exploding..

[lagomorph777]

5. Just watched his climate & jobs executive order ceremony.

Dude is ON FIRE!

[lame54]

13. He's sleep signing

[Justice]

6. No. Thread should be deleted

Trump had 200+ EO.

[msfiddlestix]

7. Oh hell no. He's playing the hand that every Repuke has done by +1000 times over

everything that monster rolled back has to be put back in place, and more. He's doing it right.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. "He's doing it right", because Biden is an experienced professional. Plus he studies. . . . nt

[msfiddlestix]

23. yeppers n/t

[ProudMNDemocrat]

8. Hell no....Making Trumpist heads spin is what Joe promised he would do.

Keep hammering Joe. Kick ass.

Make those MAGAts in Congress go on the record that they are Anti-American.

9. The sarcasm thingy must not be big enough.

[StarfishSaver]

11. Obviously

I can't believe it was even necessary.

[allnews]

10. Hell no

Keep them coming!!!

12. It depends on how many survive court challenges.

Obama had quite a few of his knocked down by the SC in 9-0 decisions.

[StarfishSaver]

14. Did you look at the OP or just read the headline?

[Bucky]

18. Read more than the headline before holding forth? HA!! What internet are YOU on?

[former9thward]

26. Of course I read it. So what?

Yes, hilarious. The point I was making stands because Biden has signed more EOs that any of the last few presidents in this short time.

[LanternWaste]

28. Really? Are you *sure* you read it?

Or are knock-knock jokes merely potential points of contention as well?

[ProfessorGAC]

35. +1 (nt)

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

16. They can't come fast enough for me.

Prez gets stuff done, as fast as possible, which is exactly what we need.

[Bucky]

17. It's justified by a crisis, but I remember what LBJ said,

He'd been pressed by Civil Rights leaders to lean on Executive Orders to fix the country's civil rights abuses (and he did do that some; it was really Kennedy who used EOs for civil rights action). But Johnson also felt like it would be more transformative to have Congress, the people's representatives, pass the major pieces of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965. And he was right. For all his faults, Johnson ended up having a much bigger impact on how much progress was made than Kennedy did.

36. Kennedy sent the 1964 Civil Rights Act to Congress in 1963

That's not to say that you're wrong about who had the bigger impact, but Kennedy's role in that legislation is usually forgotten:

I am, therefore, asking the Congress to enact legislation giving all Americans the right to be served in facilities which are open to the public -- hotels, restaurants, theaters, retail stores, and similar establishments. This seems to me to be an elementary right. Its denial is an arbitrary indignity that no American in 1963 should have to endure, but many do.

The Report to the American People on Civil Rights was a speech on civil rights, delivered on radio and television by United States President John F. Kennedy from the Oval Office on June 11, 1963 in which he proposed legislation that would later become the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

19. Where did this image come from?

If it wasn't made by OP, then it came from a freeper site and shouldn't be on DU.

That is my opinion.

[StarfishSaver]

30. Lol. Ok.

[niyad]

20. Hey! You nearly owed me a keyboard!

[nolabear]

21. Fewer. Fewer pieces of popcorn.

Hey, you’ve got your peeves, I’ve got mine. (I know it’s a paste)

[betsuni]

31. I have a huge peeve about that.

Even though I know nothing can be done and everybody says less people, less popcorn, it still bugs the hell out of me.

Same as "troops" used for individuals. Was watching an old movie where a guy was asked how many troops there were and he said there was one, when asked how many troopers, said 95. SEE! I yelled at the TV.

[Midnight Writer]

22. With two dogs in the house, there is no "five second rule".

[Bettie]

24. He has dogs

the five second rule means nothing when dogs are there! He will still lose the popcorn!

[roamer65]

25. No.

Keep signing, Joe.

[kentuck]

27. Yes. He's making me dizzy.

Just kidding!

He's making FDR look like a slacker.

And they said this trial would slow down his agenda...

[Lady Freedom Returns]

29. 🎶Big wheel keep on turnin', Proud Joe keep on burnin'!

Burn tRump"s follies to the ground!

For the music lovers out there...

32. I've avoided clicking this thread to save my b.p. until I saw who wrote it.

[StarfishSaver]

34. I'm learning how many people don't actually look beyond the headlines at the OPs they respond to

If only DU had a bigger "sarcasm" thingy ...

[uponit7771]

33. No most of the EOs are reviewed for it's legality IINM
