    One less-discussed difference between Warren/Sanders and Biden is that they’d walk right through the door Trump opened for executive power use. Biden is inclined to close the door and install new locks.https://twitter.com/NickTagliaferro/status/1217141011358658562 …

    Warren should still get behind universal debt cancellation but going around Congress like this to cancel what she can with her own authority would provide an almost immediate economic stimulus (which would also be good for Dems’ midterm prospects) https://twitter.com/ewarren/status/1217084210210578432 …

        Obama claimed he'd do that as well. Color me skeptical.

        Congress would be happy to restrict presidential powers to increase their own if they could get a President who would sign the bills.

        If "executive power use" is a concern, then the locks need to be installed by Congress. They've ceded too much power to the president since 9/11. No president should be "inclined" to do anything. They should be "restrained." Legally.

        His point is that Biden may support that imposed restraint, Sanders and Warren may resist so that they can do their thing. I'm not sure I agree with him but certainly Sanders has indicated reliance on executive action.
