      What are you talking about. Anyone can write bills. If you want to argue semantics yes she can’t actually call for a vote on a bill but there is nothing stopping her from writing the bill and telling the American people that the plan is out there and the bill just needs to be sponsored by a member of congress.

          So what you’re telling me is this is another empty promise from Kamala Harris. We need to expect better from our politicians. Just because she isn’t trump doesn’t mean we have to circle jerk around her. It’s possible to criticize while also still voting for a person.

            So you’re saying the expectation should be that she should be able to solve every problem without any direct power? Harris could only do more if she were president. The only people that can currently do anything on it are the president and congress.

            Biden for his part started the process to move it to schedule 3 which would give medical legalization. Harris could start the process for full legalization if she were elected
