Looks like my next vote will be tied to a brick.
This is getting reposted everywhere even though people in the comments are constantly giving the correct information on why this happened. Just giving you a heads-up so you’re not to quick to tie your vote to someone else’s willful misunderstanding of the separation of powers.
So who is forcing him to waive laws? What will happen if he doesn’t?
All these questions and more can be answered with a simple web search.
Fucking why?
There were funds appropriated for a portion of the wall in 2019 by Trump with the requirement that construction is completed by the end of 2023. Biden asked congress to reappropriate the funds, as he does not have the power to do so, and congress refused. His hands are mostly tied here from what I understand.
So they’re using the parliamentarian defense again eh? I didn’t buy it then and it won’t fly now
Sounds like bs to me. He had to waive laws to do this. And if he didn’t do this what would happen? Would he get in trouble with the super president?
Yeah Congress didn’t tie his hands and force him to override laws (which by the acts definition should only be invoked to protect the nation against threats).
He could just add easily declare his hands tied by the 26 laws he is instead breaking. He could say the wall’s completion wouldn’t do anything to enhance national security (something i recall libs saying when it was trumps wall).
This is a lie, plain and simple.
Yes you’re recognizing the liberal urge to defend fascist behavior
Not defending it, since I’m not familiar enough with the topic, but he waived protections provided the laws - not the laws themselves, which must be within his power if he’s done it.
Waive laws? Lol. He would get impeached because that’s breaking the law.
Ok, so it’s a nothing burger headline designed for rage.
I hate the algorithm.
His hands are mostly tied here
hahahahahahaha “the man in charge of the country and the political party in power have no say! they have to do the incredibly evil thing! the money couldn’t just sit there and not get used, that would be a worse sin than putting up barbed wire and machine gun nests”
