Gotta say, "Scoop" is a nice change of pace from "Breaking".

Once more reminding us all about how completely helpless Biden was under all circumstances save this one.

Ooops! Biden can't do it! He needs congressional approval and Lord Manchington doesn't feel like it today. Oh well!

But if it's something Biden really wants, he tells congress how it's gonna be.

Obama did the same on his way out too, iirc.

Doesn't that suggest some kind of pattern of instruction or guidance being given to the presidential role?
