      Well, yes he is. He is both legislative and executive. In the US system head of state and head of government are the same person. In Germany for example the head of state is the federal president Frank-Walter Steinmeier. He is part of the Legislative and ratifies laws. Then there is the more famous chancellor who is the head of government Olaf Scholz. He holds the executive power. Although Bidens power in legislation is limited he still has some.

        He very specifically isn’t both…he can use Executive orders and Veto laws, but he President can’t make a law without Congress. Correction: SHOULDN’T … it’s a free-for-all with the new King-Maker ruling from SCOTUS.

          Immunity from prosecution doesn’t mean he can pass laws.

          Theoretically he could murder members of the other branches of government until the remaining ones did what he wanted, but it doesn’t let him pass new laws or unilaterally change the constitution.

            If I had the Army he has, I could unilaterally change whatever I want…

              The army wouldn’t go along with it. Even in countries with dictators, they need to purge the army before they try anything too radical. And, often, the generals retain a lot of power.
