Can President Biden create a 1/6 commission by Executive Order? nt

Remember the Warren Commission - reference the Kennedy Assassination authorized by LBJ.

it’s likely a congressional issue. I’d love it if he could though.

That's where it got its ability to compel testimony.

If he wanted it to be anything more than an advisory commission with a very limited budget and no subpoena authority, he'd have to get Congressional authorization and appropriations. It would be pretty much a non-starter if done by executive order.

But Biden could get things started...and sometimes all we need is to get started.

And they are much farther along than Biden would likely get any time soon.

Congress is in the process of doing exactly what you seem to be calling on Biden to do. And it would take months for the Administration to put this together. This isn't 1963 and this isn't the Kennedy Assassination.

I don't understand why you're calling on Biden to get started on what Congress is already pretty far along the way in doing.

And a grand one it would be to see, too.

sure he can.

Unless Congress authorizes funding and enforcement tools, there's only so much they can do.

And presidential commissions were viewed and responded to very differently in the 1960s and 70s. Things are much different now.
