Anyone have insight on why this wouldn't have to go through congress?

Wouldn't this make another term of focus on tax reform, which they already had.

Now now, let's not say anything negative about the esteemed president. He's got many fans on here.

Wouldn’t this have to go through Congress? Either way I’m sure they’ll be legal challenges to stop this from going through.

Lol at this WH and now the WH and Fox News run the country.. how did we get into this timeline? can we not go to the other 999 where shit went right?
