    There’s a lot of things Biden could do with presidential power

    And that’s their proclaimed defense. They don’t want to pass a law when he could hypothetically use his executive power instead.

    but at least do it and implement it,

    A good executive does not use unilateral powers on contentious issues when Congress is in a position to vote for it. Unlike some issues, since this is something Republicans want more than Democrats, it would be downright reckless for Biden to do so in this case, both in terms of political maneuvers AND in terms of actually solving any problems.

    This is literally Republicans trying to make Biden look bad for his own sake, and Biden doing the right thing and letting legislatures finish what they started, even if finishing involves a lack of agreement.

    …since when are we begging for Executive Orders?
