President Biden has embraced the power of the pen, practically daring the courts to block new executive actions on gun control, student loan forgiveness and potentially the border.
Why it matters: Stymied by the least productive Congress in modern American history, Biden wants to hit the campaign trail with fresh policy wins tailored to the voting blocs he needs to defeat former President Trump.
Zoom in: Biden on Thursday approved the largest expansion of background checks in decades, issuing a new rule that would require thousands of gun sellers to register as federally licensed firearms dealers.
* The attempt to close the "gun show loophole" will be implemented under the bipartisan gun safety law passed by Congress in 2022 — but the bill's Republican authors are now accusing Biden of a "power grab."
* The regulation is certain to be challenged in Congress and in court.
