That's what this all boils down to.
I choose President Biden.
That's the only thing that makes sense since President Biden has been elected nationally on his agenda, has consulted with party leadership and has the support of the vast majority of Democrats in Congress.

(5,376 posts)Political parties and party agendas have nothing to do with the Constitution or separation of powers.
Political parties have a platform and legislative agenda. AND a party leader.
Right now, President Biden is our Democratic Party Leader and has established an agenda and has been elected on that agenda.
Manchin and Sinema are individuals acting on their own behalf.
