    “Biden” doesn’t have a choice. If you knew US foreign policy, you’d know that.

    He didn’t just threaten, it got shot down in congress.

    You—like many Americans—seem to have this idea that the president is all-powerful. There are checks and balances for a reason. Unfortunately, good policies can also get shot down without enough support.

    But by all means, continue to spread misinformation. 🤷‍♂️

      “Biden” doesn’t have a choice. If you knew US foreign policy, you’d know that.

      He is compelled by law to halt military aid to Israel and he is refusing to abide by the ICJ.

      You—like many Americans—seem to have this idea that the president is all-powerful.

      This is the Unitary Executive Theory, and it isn’t a problem of me holding it as an idea. The problem is Presidents enacting it unchallenged by either the US legislature or the courts.
