    First up, that’s not what execution of laws means. In regards to the executive branch, execution means for formal signing of bills I to law, and has nothing to do with actual enforcement.

    Secondly, if he were to “enforce” it, it would basically be a DOJ recommendation to conduct and investigation and present a case to the Judiciary, which is likely to be go nowhere considering the current state of the US courts system. And every one of those steps takes time to do and that process then has to be repeated for every company that is doing business with Israel.

      It’s literally then job of the executive branch to enforce the law. Even cops are part of the executive branch, please cite a source that claims the executive branch of the government has nothing to do with enforcing the law.

        My citation. I trust Cornell Law more than any random person on the internet and my point still stands that enforcement is still a lengthy process involving the DOJ building a case that still requires the Judiciary to actually make a ruling. And with how much of a cluster fuck the US courts system is, I don’t have much faith that the process will end favorably, especially with a SCOTUS thar is so heavily in favor of business interests.

        Biden can’t just snap his fingers and punish a business for making dealings with Israel, that’s a unilateral power the presidency does not have.

        Read my whole comment, I outlined exactly what the president would have to do in that scenario instead of picking and choosing what you reply to.
