I don't know about the former. The latter is certainly true.

Quote:I think that if Obama (certainly Biden) could make an executive decision that would not have political fallout... He would make marriage officially between two people... regardless of gender.

Not sure it falls under the executive authority anyway. Individual states set thier own requirements and recognize the marriage acts of other states via the "Full Faith and Credit" clause. I beleive it would literally take an act of Congress.
