Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders now has an answer for how he’ll deal with a Republican-controlled Senate if he’s elected president: unilateral executive action.
Sanders’s campaign is reportedly drafting dozens of executive orders that would allow a hypothetical President Sanders to overturn President Trump’s immigration policy and bypass Congress on a wide range of other domestic policy issues, such as healthcare and the environment. Sanders’s top priorities would be to halt construction of the southern border wall, legalize marijuana, and declare climate change a national emergency, according to the Washington Post.
