President Biden can’t create legislation. That has to come from Congress. McCarthy (R) is speaker of the house.
“Can’t the President issue executive orders?”
Yes but the Supreme Court has been striking down and limiting the EPA from executing on executive orders or other mandates that the agency has. For example last year [1]
> By a vote of 6 to 3, the court said that any time an agency does something big and new – in this case addressing climate change – the regulation is presumptively invalid, unless Congress has specifically authorized regulating in this sphere.
Biden actually has addressed the UN at least once [2] and discussed climate change. He wouldn’t address NATO on this topic because NATO is a defensive military alliance and most NATO members are well aware of climate change risks.
He doesn’t need to explain to other political leaders that his “hands are tied” because they already know and understand how the U.S. political landscape works.
