Democrats are still reeling from Sen. Joe Manchin’s decision to destroy President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda and just can’t move on. Now, Democrats are pushing Biden to pass his agenda by any means necessary, even if the means aren’t exactly legal.

Townhall reports:

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) called on President Biden on Sunday to “use executive action” to deliver his signature climate and social policy legislation that’s stalling in the Senate, after Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) rejected the plan.

What they’re saying: “Taking executive action will also make clear to those who hinder Build Back Better that the White House and Democrats will deliver for Americans,” wrote Jayapal, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, in a Washington Post op-ed.

Jayapal said the caucus would “continue to work toward legislation for Build Back Better, focused on keeping it as close to the agreed-upon framework as possible” in an effort to pass Biden’s $1.75 trillion spending plan.

Yeah, I’m not so sure that’s legal, Jayapal. The president can’t bypass Congress to pass trillion-plus dollar spending bills by executive decree. That’s a violation of the separation of powers. That is an impeachable offense. It’s akin to when Obama created new immigration law from the executive which came in the form of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. I wouldn’t expect much on this front since Biden will try to keep at least a couple of the items in a bill that Manchin said was too nuts for him to appease the Squad contingent on the Hill.

It’s time for Democrats to move on.
