After rewriting Title IX regulations to include protections for gender identity, President Biden told trans students: “We see you.” When he announced in April his latest executive actions to waive student loan debt, he proudly proclaimed that “this relief can be life-changing.”
And standing in front of a group of immigrant advocates in June, Mr. Biden boasted that he had used the power of his presidency to provide a new path to legal status for undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens — ending fear and uncertainty for a half-million people.
“We can fix that,” Mr. Biden said. “And that’s what I’m going to do today: fix it.”
In all three cases — and a long list of other executive actions — Mr. Biden’s promises of progress and relief have been stymied by aggressive legal challenges led by conservative activists, lawmakers and Republican state attorneys general. Their efforts to disrupt the president’s agenda have often been bolstered by federal judges, appellate courts and, in some cases, the majority of conservative justices on the Supreme Court.
The president’s use of executive orders was supposed to have been the solution to a closely divided and paralyzed Congress, especially as the 2024 race got underway. Of his six signature bills that Mr. Biden signed into law during his presidency, none came after December of 2022.
But as Mr. Biden nears the end of his presidency, the effort to bypass Congress with regulatory changes, executive orders and presidential memorandums has faltered. That outcome is likely to affect his legacy and could make it more difficult for Vice President Kamala Harris to point to progress as she campaigns for the White House this fall.

Live by the executive order, die by the executive order.
Somebody needs to go after that Cuban bass turd Mayorkass. The boy is out of control. He needs to be locked up until after the election. Then send his La Raza ass back to Castroland.
The article’s focus should be Joe’s illegal actions. It would be if it were Trump’s.

Exactly, it’s very telling how they ignore his outrageous abuses of executive power.
Si, senor!
ChoMoeJoe’s “legacy”.....!!!!
OMG I have to LOL!!!!
“The president’s use of executive orders was supposed to have been the solution to a closely divided and paralyzed Congress, especially as the 2024 race got underway.”
This is a remarkable statement. Under the constitution, it is supposed to be hard to implement new laws and policies. That is up to congress and if congress is evenly divided, that means there is no consensus in the county to have a bunch of radical new laws.
So it’s a “solution” to a problem that doesn’t exist. It’s not a problem that a radical administration cannot impose its will on the country where half of the country thinks its a terrible idea. It’s only a problem if you are a radical administration trying to have its way with the country regardless in the waning months of its power.
By the time that happens, the major damage is done and it can't be put back in the bottle. Student loan forgiveness, relaxed voter registration and express lanes for illegal alien citizenship are classic examples.
Executive orders were only meant to apply to the executive branch of government but have now, as Paul “The Forehead” Begala once observed, evolved to “Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Kind’a cool!”
Does the Congress have to actually pass ANY laws for the country to run? Or can it all be a series of non-stop continuing resolutions, occasional partial shutdowns, and executive orders?
"The president’s use of executive orders was supposed to have been the solution to a closely divided and paralyzed Congress [??? emphasis added], ..."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
So-called “divided and paralyzed Congress” translates to corrupt, constitutionally undefined uniparty that has pirated control of state and federal governments imo.
The main reason that we're seeing articles playing up (unconstitutional imo) executive orders as remedies for the corrupt Congress is this imo. Corrupt Congress has been letting renegade presidents like Obama and OBiden do Congress's dirty work for it by allowing corrupt presidents to oppress citizens with illegal executive orders based on stolen state powers when Congress should have impeached and removed these compromised presidents from office for making such executive orders.
The reality is that, since worthless career federal lawmakers and renegade states have repeatedly proven that they are enemies of the people imo, it is now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to do the first MAJOR job in draining the swamp by effectively "impeaching and removing" ALL (exceptions?) state and federal lawmakers and executives in November.
In other words, it's now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new, Constitution-respecting Congress, new state lawmakers too, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.
Finally, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.

“Executive orders were only meant to apply to the executive branch of government but have now, as Paul “The Forehead” Begala once observed, evolved to “Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Kind’a cool!””
“It’s good to be King.”
Of course that was a comedy and this administration is, instead, a tragedy.
