    That apostrophe and two Ls are doing a lot of heavy lifting.

    Will you do those things, Joe? Or will you try to, get foiled by Congress, attempt to do something within your power and then get foiled by the Supreme Court?

    Maybe don’t say things like that until you’ve got a filibuster-proof hold of Congress. And even then it’ll get watered down.

      I don’t think “I will do what Congress permits” is a particularly good campaign promise, even if it’s the most honest thing he can say.

      So you don’t want him to say anything until after the election, and only if he has a supermajority? That’s not how campaigning works.

        “I will do my best to push for” is perfectly acceptable and also shows he has basic civics knowledge.

        I am a firm believer that overpromising and underdelivering is what hurts voter turnout the most.
