@JoeBiden on issuing an Executive Order in response to gun violence… pic.twitter.com/KUXsyNfZrW“Can’t you issue an executive order? Trump passed those out like Halloween candy,” Kimmel asked.:I have issued executive orders, within the power of the presidency, to be able to deal with these, everything having to do with guns, gun ownership, all the things within my power. But what I don’t want to do,” Biden said, “and I’m not being facetious, is emulate Trump’s abuse of the constitution and constitutional authority.”“I mean that sincerely, because I often get asked, ‘Look, the Republicans don’t play it square, why do you play it square?’ Well, guess what? If we do the same thing they do, our democracy would literally be in jeopardy.
