What’s the point of this line of thinking? Biden is culpable in multiple ways for approving funding for genocide, even if congress is the one proposing it. He’s the head of the democratic party, he has veto power, he has an extensive cabinet and can whip votes against funding if he chose to.
It’s crazy to me that anyone’s deflection of Biden’s role in supporting Israel is “well congress is the one DRAFTING the bills he’s signing”
I suppose I just see him getting ragged on when is isn’t the source of that problem and if anything is being held hostage by parliamentary processes over a slim majority in the house
the law has to reach him first to sign…
again congress controls the purse they just don’t like to look like it; this issue arises due to their inaction and shifting blame to a 200 year old issue of immigration
He’s getting ragged on because he has the power to direct foreign policy and he chooses not to in this major instance.
the law has to reach him first to sign…
and he can say he’s going to veto anything that provides unconditional defense aid to Israel, and then veto it if it does come across his desk. That he chooses not to push for that condition is 100% his own fault.
