    So if Congress would not have acted, couldn't the President do it by himself? Why didn't he do that again?

    Exactly. Anything that can be done by congress instead of the president should.

    ideally, yes. Doesn’t always happen that way. But if you can get it through Congress you should.

    I get that but this authority was granted by the legislation years ago to the President. Presidents typically do not like giving up any power that they have been granted by Congress.

    but curtis, inept joe does not understand what is going on, his handlers keep him, thankfully, in the dark.

    As opposed to the other guy who said he could do it himself, knew more than anybody on every issue. Unfortunately this was just another of his myriad of lies. He was the worse President and an even worse person. Narcissist lying adulterer!

    So what are they going to do if all the truckers say, screw you; we’re not working. Can’t fire them like air traffic controllers. That’s a law with zero teeth.
