You really, really need to get caught up on the basics of how our government works before forming any strong political opinions. The president has no ability to "scrap entire laws" and that's entirely intentional and part of the foundation of the American political system.
Oh, I meant that as a completely separate idea, not something he should personally do. Probably should have made that it's own paragraph instead of just an ellipsis. Shitty communication on my part.
All good, and apologies for the heat. There are just a lot of people that are commenting these very strong opinions and show a clear lack of understanding in even the basics of our process.
And to address your revised take: because we have not had a filibuster-proof majority in the legislative chambers with the space to focus on cannabis issues. We have to vote in a congress with the ability to do this.
Naw you're good. I have a bad habit of just typing as I think. The ellipses as a pause was the pause in my thinking between topics, which is very much not how an ellipses is supposed to be used. You responded appropriately taking my post at face value.
I have that same habit, just without the ellipses. Totally understand!
