To be fair to Azure's point, this legal requirement was sponsored by a Democrat and passed by a fully Democrat-controlled Congress, to be signed into law by Republican George W. Bush.

It’s that law that is allowing Biden to be more contemplative and restrictive of what he signs off on. Without that he’d have to sign or veto what comes to his desk from congress. He has to be careful in what he does or he is going to be labeled as being anti-Israel and run over by the Republicans. Governing is hard and requires compromise. When that doesn’t happen we get the Trump admin and ####ed up governments.
