    The president has little say on the laws that Congress passes. Vote for your local senators and representatives! The only way to realize change is to vote in your local elections!

    It is local and state government that is important to making changes! Republicans have figured this out decades ago and have been gerrymandering and packing courts for decades.

    The president can’t waive a magic wand and make any change he wants.

      The president has little say on the laws that Congress passes.

      Vetoes

      Executive Orders

      Judicial Appointments

      Fundraising for Congressional Candidates

      An Attorney General that can argue against legislation in federal courts

      An enormous administrative bureaucracy that authors internal policy under broader federal mandates

      A Vice President who breaks ties in a Senate split 48(D)/3(I)/49®

      But other than that…
