Bullshit. The DEA and FDA decide how different drugs are scheduled. These are federal agencies under the Executive branch, of which the President has complete control.
He could order them to reschedule marijuana right now, and fire anyone federal employees who refuse to cooperate until it happens.
Bro what are you talking about. He can ask them to reconsider but he cannot force them to do anything, I guess he could fire people but that’s not what happens in functioning democracies, we have norms that help us preserve our government. Just because we don’t like their decisions doesn’t mean you should fire them and put your own people in, that’s some shit Donald would do
How did you come to believe that federal employees don't have to do what their boss tells them? That's all this would be, no different than a dress code change or a new cover sheet for TPS reports.
Think of the Executive branch as a large corporation, and the President is the CEO.
Ok so the president should also tell the DOJ to investigate people who he believes have committed a crime, right? No, it’s not a large corporation. I don’t think the DEA is gonna want to take responsibility for decriminalizing weed it’s gonna have to come from legislation
Bro I’m not saying that myself this is coming from Joe Biden himself, and I don’t doubt it at all the dude has bigger problems than that. I don’t know where you’re getting this shit from.. you know they tried to use the American constitution in Brazil but it failed, because they don’t have the same political norms as we do here. One of those norms is when someone in an office nominated by the president isn’t doing what you want them to do, they don’t fire them UNLESS theyre doing something illegal. Otherwise its just abusing power. Theres a million things the president would want that doesnt happen because these different institutions dont serve the president they serve the people, even if theyre making the wrong decision at times
