Schumer: Biden Should Consider Declaring ‘Climate Emergency’ So He Can Do Things without Congress

Ian Hanchett 25 Jan 2021

During an interview aired on Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated that “it might be a good idea for President Biden to call a climate emergency.” Because this would allow him to “do many, many things” without legislation. Schumer also argued that “if there ever was an emergency, climate is one.”

Schumer said, “I think it might be a good idea for President Biden to call a climate emergency.”

Schumer explained that he believes Biden should consider the idea because “Then he can do many, many things under the emergency powers of the president that wouldn’t have to go through — that he could do without legislation. Now, Trump used this emergency for a stupid wall, which wasn’t an emergency. But if there ever was an emergency, climate is one. So I would suggest that they explore looking at climate as an emergency, which would give them more flexibility. After all, it’s a crisis.”

It’s hard to believe the rats have just spent the last four years accusing the former president of being a dictator.

On the other hand, no it’s not.

Does Schmucky not realize Biden's already acting as though Congress didn't exist? That's what EOs are all about. He doesn't need to declare a phony emergency for an imaginary crisis.

Wow.  This cretin is so hell bent on controlling every aspect of our lives he'll even (temporarily) surrender his own importance.

Odd isn't it, Trump is President and Pelosi believes that there is only one branch of government, Congress and she is all powerful. Now Schmucky wants there to be only one branch of government, Executive and the President be all powerful. To hell with that pesky Constitutional three equal branches of government malarkey. Democrats only believe in a socialist dictatorship with one of theirs or puppet at the head. With Captain Dementia they have the best possible situation, a puppet with Barry enjoying his third term in the shadows pulling the strings.
