    What needs more reform is Presidential executive actions. They have become a blank slate for the President to overstep Congress.

    Cut the crap. He was forced out by threat of 25th amendment , then he grandstands with a speech about how magnanimous he is.

    È un fatto senza precedenti, addirittura nuovo, nella storia politica statunitense, tuttavia non mi convince che il Presidente Biden fosse l'elemento divisivo e che le sue dimissioni favoriranno il rasserenamento dentro la nazione. Credo proprio il contrario. Ci aspetteranno giornate di fuoco durante queste presidenziali.
