Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is warning top lieutenants of President Donald Trump’s violent and unlawful immigration enforcement policies that they will not always have the protection of presidential immunity and that lawmakers in the future will seek to hold them to account for their behavi...
Their actions point twoards them being complicit even
Biden had every opportunity to undo the tax breaks that Trump started. Obama had the option to fight citizens united.
Democrats don’t fight for the people, they don’t fight against the people. They are placeholders until a republican shows up to fight the people for them.
He did? I didnt’t think that was a power the president had.
I mean, the current presidential term seems to point to yes, but the answer is actually no.
Though that won’t stop the “why did the dems not break the law like Trump?” trolls trying to sew division.
It’s not troll to acknowledge that Biden had multiple months of presidential immunity that SCOTUS set up for Trump that he refused to use despite knowing what was happening.
Clutch your pearls as fascists break the rules kill us, oh at least we never broke the rules!
This is a large problem with Americans. You don’t even understand what you’re talking about, but it doesn’t stop you from getting mad and blathering on.
No u
Nah bruh. The presidential immunity protects from criminal prosecution, not overcoming legislative limits.
Congress (senate) controls the purse and taxes are congressional powers (Article 1, Section 8). And Joe Manchin was dead set on not raising taxes, because he’s a dumbass.
Biden has plenty of faults, but taxes was out of his control unless Manchin got his head out of his ass.
Trump is proving right now that, no, congress doesn’t seem to control funding seeing as he’s getting away with restricting it
You’re arguing 2 different things than what was said prior. I’m talking about taxes. Taxes are legislative creation. Not executive. Congress decides deductions, rates and credits. Then once passed and signed by the president. The executive branch, under the president enforces them through the IRS and Treasury. They can’t change the actual tax rates. Only Congress can (hence why I always say, the senate is America’s biggest enemy).
You’re talking about Trump freezing or restricting funding. Which he can totally do. But that just it, freezing and restricting by EO. The money dosent move anywhere until Congress passes to cut it, which they did with the Big Bullshit Bill.
If Biden tried to move approved funding from military aid to let’s say, SNAP and housing. He had the courts getting in his way and would need everyone who works in the treasury and handling federal funds to be onboard. Because if Biden loses the court case (which he will), those who aided him in moving funds from 1 major program to another (you can do narrow moves) would be liable as well.
What Trump is doing is a classic case of delay until they run out of money to fight in court. Trump isn’t really cutting funding, he’s “reviewing it”. But he’s already lost a ton of cases anyways because the JUDGES aren’t buying it. If the Big Bullshit Bill didn’t pass, Trump’s entire budget plan would be cooked.
