You act like Executive Orders are something that Joe Biden and the Democratic Party invented. Every President but William Henry Harrison has used them. And even he would have used them if not for the fact that he caught pneumonia on his first day in office and died of it on the thirtieth. And they've used the phrase "Executive Order" since Lincoln was President.
Again, what Jayapal advocated was that a massive piece of legislation to be made an EO. It would have dwarfed any EO.
