What's your list of things Biden can do/fix without the Senate?

[Marius25]

Unfortunately we did badly in the down ballot races. The only chance we have to win the Senate is winning both Georgia runoff races, or Cunningham magically squeaking out a lead in NC.

Assuming neither of those happen, McConnell already said he will block anything Biden does and won't allow Biden to appoint liberal Cabinet members.

What do you think Biden can do without the Senate that can really make things better? Obviously reversing Trump's EOs is one thing. Rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement.

What else?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Firing Bill Barr, for starters.

And using EOs just as much as Trump ever did. Sauce for the goose and all that.

[relayerbob]

2. Delete every Trump order

That restores a lot of things right there

[intrepidity]

3. Can't he appoint a bunch of "Acting" cabinet members?

I seem to recall Trump pulling that quite often

[onenote]

19. Only if the appointee already has been confirmed by the Senate to another position.

Trump's acting cabinet secretaries typically were deputy secretaries who had previously been confirmed by the Senate. You can't just pluck someone who hasn't been confirmed for any position and give them the authority of a cabinet secretary.

4. EOs

the very first is the EO to undo all of trump's EOs.

second, fire all trump appointees to federal agencies

that's the start.

5. DOJ & appoint independent prosecutor

To CRUCIFY russian assets! All of them.

[Fiendish Thingy]

10. Can't appoint an IP without Congress renewing the law

The IP law expired after Ken Starr, so Congress would have to renew.

Could still appoint a Special Prosecutor or investigate and prosecute Trump crimes through DOJ.

15. Thx i didn't realize

Whatever works. Go for their (figurative) jugulars IMMEDIATELY!

One way to open up some senate seats.

[Sedona]

6. Get Covid response coordinated nationwide

Mend international relations

Disband space force

Thats a start

[Beachnutt]

8. Get those Children out of cages and to their parents...JOB 1

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

7. Executive Order nullifying everything Trump has done

to the environment.

Reinstate every environmental regulation Trump nullified.

[msongs]

9. re senate votes we only need to pick off 2 repubs to vote our way nt

[meadowlander]

11. Open up the "classifed" server where they've been filing embarrasing Trump phone calls

and start using them to crucify his enablers including McConnell.

[SheltieLover]

16. This!👆

[doc03]

12. Rescind all of Trump's executive orders. Give Lt. Col. Vindmon his job back with back pay. Purge all

Trump appointees from our government and bring back the ones he fired. Patch up relations with our allies and come down
on Putin hard, punish that SOB.

[stillcool]

13. Executive Orders up the yazoo...

and fire every Trump appointee within the first hour.

[meadowlander]

14. Broker multi-lateral international action imposing sanctions for election interference.

[DFW]

17. Biden should study every single executive order Trump issued

Then rescind every single one of them.

[bullimiami]

18. Trump rule. If you dont like it go around it.

[bluedigger]

20. Besides rebuilding the Executive branch and restoring our allies' trust?

I think Biden will have his hands full getting us a fully functioning government without having to push very hard for a legislative agenda his first two years.
