What happens when you’re the president and Congress isn’t looking to play ball? You issue executive orders of course! In fact Biden’s committee on gun confiscation is rumored to recommend 19 executive actions to Obama:
The White House has identified 19 executive actions for President Barack Obama to move unilaterally on gun control, Vice President Joe Biden told a group of House Democrats on Monday, the administration’s first definitive statements about its response to last month’s mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Pretending that a system of checks and balances existed was getting kind of old anyways.
Well if what the article said about the recommendations is true, its actually not a violation of his powers which is technically enforcement of legislation, although the CDC gathering info on guns would violate parts of his own Healthcare law thanks to the gun owner’s unlikely friend Sen. Reid.
