Obama tried telling the dea to back off that shit and they ignored him. The president doesn’t have as much power as some of you think he does. Plus most things need congressional approval before they make it to his desk.
And from what I could read (without seeing ads or using their app), that article is about weed being imported, not what is being grown and sold in legal states.
I’m not sure you understand what exactly is going on here.
CBP is literally part of the executive branch. He doesn’t need congressional approval to issue instructions to the executive branch, which is how he’s able to do things like instruct the DOE to consider bathroom access for trans students covered by Title IX. If you want to argue that Biden is so ineffectual that he can’t even get his own house in order, you do you.
I didn’t realize the article was paywalled but it’s incredibly easy to find other articles if you want to read about it. And no, it’s not about weed being imported. Border Patrol is seizing weed in New Mexico, a legal state, that is being transported from one part of New Mexico to another part of New Mexico for testing. It never leaves New Mexico. Maybe you should read about it before accusing me of not understanding the situation?
Even if he does have power over the border patrol, as I said with Obama the dea has jurisdiction too and they ignored him.
As for the border patrol. They don’t have blanket jurisdiction. They operate within 100 miles of the border. So you most definitely aren’t grasping what’s going on nor the bigger picture here.
The above said, I’m done here because I’m tired of dealing with jokers like you that (hopefully) had a problem with trump and his umpteen executive orders but expect Biden to solve every problem like that. It’s clear some people definitely didn’t learn any of this in school and are just now paying attention and getting enough info or understanding what’s what.
The president can start firing people that’s what they can do. Obama letting them ignore him wasn’t a show of their power. It was a show of his unwillingness to do something more.
RTFA. I’m sorry these thoughts make you uncomfortable or something but it’s absolutely ridiculous to say that the president has no control over Border Patrol and just… idk, pretending they haven’t seized hundreds of thousands of dollars of legal weed grown in NM that never left it? Is there a point to being like that?

Have a nice day now.

Well, do you think that means the president is an empty position with no power over federal agencies?
Or do you think Obama may not have tried as hard as he could?
I mean, if I ignore what my boss tells me to do, I’d get fired.
Why do you think Obama just never did anything and was ok with being ignored?
I think it’s because he wasn’t even trying
