WTWizard Once Biden and
Harris become president and vice president (and we know it won't be
long before Harris is in full charge), I expect this to happen so
fast that no one will be able to do anything about it.
In the United States
the President does not have absolute power. The Constitution was
formed with a System called “Separation of Powers”
In ruling a
democratic country is provides a system of “checks and balances”
If Harris becomes
President and wants to legislate a law saying every citizen has to
wear a masks, or every citizen has to get the flu shot, she cannot
use her executive power to enforce such law.
Such law has to go
through Congress first to be approved. Congress has a total of 535
members and divided into two houses. The Senate and the House of
Represent ivies. Each house is divided between Republicans and
Democrats. Both have to agree to new legislation. Which is very hard
to do because each member of congress wants to keep his job and will
vote to satisfy his constituents.
So if the majority of people don’t
want to be forced to take a flu shot or wear a mask, they call their
Congressman and let him know if he doesn’t want to be voted out
next term, then they better say NO to the suggested new law suggested
by the President.
If Congress says NO,
then the bill won’t go through.
Also the Federal
government cannot impose Federal law into the individual States
without a legal fight. That is why President Trump could not
independently sent the national guard or the military into Portland
to stop the riots and crime without the invitation of the governor
and mayors. Unless there is a world war or a dangerous terrorist
threat like a nuclear threat, in which case the President can use
executive privilege, his powers are very limited within the Republic.
