Another president who knows he can’t get proposed legislation through Congress may circumvent the legislative process and use executive action to achieve his desired objective. This is contrary to constitutional government, no matter who uses executive action.

FNC: “President Biden is considering executive action on gun control in the wake of two mass shootings in less than a week, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday. Psaki did not specify what action Biden might take.

“Biden, addressing the shooting that occurred in Boulder, Colo., and that left 10 dead, said Tuesday he didn’t ‘want to wait another minute, let alone an hour’ to act on gun violence. A shooting six days earlier left eight dead in Atlanta, Georgia.

“He didn’t mention potential executive action but implored the Senate to pass a series of House bills that would close loopholes in background checks. He also urged Congress to ban ‘assault weapons.’ Gun control experts told press last month that Biden could tighten gun control without Congress by using his authority to limit trade. Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation, said that Biden could use the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to tighten regulations. ‘What we’re expecting him to do is anything with foreign commerce — if the firearm is being imported in or magazine or ammo is being imported in — he could by executive order try to do something in that nature,” Gottlieb said.’ ”

“I got that done as a senator. It brought down mass shootings, we can do it again. We can ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in this country once again. These are bills that received votes with both Republicans and Democrats in the House. This is not and should not be a partisan issue. This is an American issue that will save lives, American lives. And we have to act. We should also ban assault weapons in the process,” Biden said.

“We are considering a range of levers, including working through legislation, including executive action,” Psaki told reporters. “That has been under discussion and will continue to be under discussion.” This issue will, as usual, end up in court.
