Which signature bill? There is more than one. That's how the the government works. What goes into the meat grinder isn't necessarily sausage at the other end.
His infrastructure bill is his only signature bill. Its the one he championed and ran on implimenting. People comared his infrastructure goals to Obamas ACA bill. There no bill that come close to it in respect to being Bidens signature piece if legislation. Idk why you're trying to muddy the waters like hes passed dozens of landmark bills he championed himself.
You got the Anerican Rescue Plan, which allowed people and business to survive the pandemic. Infrastructure Act, Gun legislation, CHIPS Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. All of which are historic and important. If I had to pick one that is his signature legislation, I'd say it is the Inflation Reduction Act. It provided money to combat climate change through tax changes to business and the Uber wealthy while lowering the deficit. It also worked on health with Medicare negotiation of drug prices...stuff like that. He didn't get universal preK, paid family leave or child tax credits in that bill as he wanted, but that's the way it works sometimes.
The American Rescue Act was a budget reconciliation bill made by floor democrats, all Biden did was sign it, that doesn't make it his legislation. The exact same is true about the Inflation reduction act. The CHIPS act is not of Bidens design either, and the gun violence act is hardly on the same level as the Infrastructure bill. A 'signature' bill doesn't just mean any bill he signed weather he was part of the drafting, negotiations, etc. or not. The only one he has put that level of his own work into is the infrastructure act, that belongs to him. Plus even if they were his bills, your arguement then would be a budget reconciliation, something that is legally requred to be passed every session of congress, was his greatest feat? Thats not a better look than his actual signature bill being cut to one third.
Boy, you really must be an insider to know who designed what.
lmfao bro it's a public process, no ones hiding who introduced, debated, or amended these bills and google is free. All you have to pay is attention.
You don't understand how the executive branch works with congress. They don't design, introduce, or sponsor legislation. What the President's liason does do is provide concept and negotiate.
