NY Times: “On his first day in office alone, Mr. Biden intends a flurry of executive orders that will be partly substantive and partly symbolic” – Reason.com
The New York Times has reviewed “a memo circulated on Saturday by Ron Klain, his incoming White House chief of staff” about President-Elect Biden’s flurry of executive actions for January 20:
They include rescinding the travel ban on several predominantly Muslim countries, rejoining the Paris climate change accord, extending pandemic-related limits on evictions and student loan payments, issuing a mask mandate for federal property and interstate travel and ordering agencies to figure out how to reunite children separated from families after crossing the border. . . .
The rescission of the travel ban should not be difficult. President Trump was able to issue the proclamation unilaterally. I am not up to speed on the specifics of rejoining the Paris accords.
