Summary
President Joe Biden invoked the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to protect 625 million acres of U.S. offshore waters from future oil and gas drilling, blocking areas along the East and West coasts, Eastern Gulf of Mexico, and Alaska’s North Bering Sea.
The move aims to prevent environmental damage and hinder Donald Trump’s plans to expand fossil fuel production upon returning to office.
Trump allies and the oil industry criticized the decision as politically motivated, while Biden emphasized bipartisan support for protecting coastal regions.
The president’s role is to coordinate, which is heavily dependent on delegation. He’s supposed to pick experts to help carry out the administration’s policy. Are you expecting him to visit all 50 states every single day?
(OTOH yes the presidency has way too much power and it should be redistributed)
A presidents role is to also be accountable for whats done when he delegates. Also to lead the party direction. Not to suck off the right and give medals to neocons.
