Now that’s one big salad.
If you don’t have to sign, don’t.
What you sign is going to be used against you.
It is not constitutional ergo unenforceable against the executive branch which is completely independent of the legislature.
“Presidential Immunity”
And of course Reddit is hyperventilating over this… “He’s broken the law already!!!” Stupid Elizabeth Fauxcahontas Warren started all this. She’s a first class traitor.
Good.
So, did President Biden do his job? Did he negotiate the agreement?
Can that be ‘boiled down’ to a paragraph or two?
Asking for a friend.
Still trying to find where in that pesky constitution thingie ,that this law occurs.....
Trump is going to do nothing that is simply to appease democrats and their very few supporters and unfair, do as I say not as I do supporters
Set it next to the commode for when...
I wouldn’t sign it and I’d tell “Lie-A-Watha” Warren to take her quill and ink bottle and stick them
Trump is not participating in the govt transition or taking any of their money. Hes doing a privately funded transition with his own people.
The quality I love most about Pres. Trump...
The man learns from his mistakes.
