Another day with a similar post about how Biden is single handedly murdering children in Gaza.
It has to be bots… right? Or bad faith actors.
Could Biden do more to reduce the suffering in this war, probably. But no one here is point ling out specific executive powers he should be exercising or diplomacy that’s being left on the table. Instead it’s all personal attacks that appear primarily motived to discourage likely democratic voters by drawing lines between their votes and enabling genocide. As if it’s somehow that simple.
Stop sending money and weapons to Israel. Full stop.
The president doesn't have that power. That power is reserved by congress.
People really didn't pay attention to their middle grade civics lessons, did they?
What about all the times he bypassed congress to support israel? Other than obviously supporting them in the UN?
Biden bypasses congress to send weapons to israel (again): https://apnews.com/article/us-israel-gaza-arms-hamas-bypass-congress-1dc77f20aac4a797df6a2338b677da4f
I can't give you details about how it all works because I'm not an expert. I'm pretty confident the president can't override funding thar congress has allocated though. There are ways they can spend money, but they can't get rid of already allocated funding.
If congress says we're giving arms to Israel, there's not much the president can do. They can probably delay it some, depending on how it was written, but it wouldn't be legal to stop it.
Yes he has. The US is not allowed to send weapons to actors who commit war crimes and hinder US humanitarian efforts. The US is currently breaking that law, because the state department withholds the information that that is in fact what is happening, despite it being obvious. The president absolutely has the power to let the executive uphold the US law instead of breaking it.
the president has massive power and so we need to rally and stop trump
the president has very little power so you can’t blame biden
which is it for fucks sake
The republican plan is to replace the executive and judicial branch with sycophants. Rules don't matter if your plan is to make sure rules can't be enforced. The president doesn't have the legal power to do it, but that may change with the plans the Republicans have set up.
Yeah, when their "logic" leads up to "let's elect Trump instead" it's pretty damn sad
Why are you lying? The logic is quite simple: If the Dems uphold the US laws of not sending weapons to war criminals and genociders, if the Dems protect constitutional rights like free speach and if the Dems abide by international law and order, then they will be voted.
You are like an abused spouse making excuses for your abuser instead of demanding him to abide by the rules.
Damn that sucks.
He should stop murdering children in Gaza, that would help a lot.
