If we come up with sweeping immigration reform can POTUS sign that of Mueller is not concluded? How about we amend the CRA to address sexual orientation, can POTUS sign that, how about revocation of Roe v. Wade?
To me it's just a case of how can we delay this and not do exactly what we complained about.
The CRA was a Congressional act; it was legislation. Presidents may help guide legislation along, but legislation is not the prerogative of the executive. Appointments are, as we are reminded whenever anyone talks about obstructing a nomination.
See the difference?
