In a final tweet posted at 20:23: “Congress needs to stop dragging its feet. Anything short of codifying the Trump EOs is political malpractice.” Here, Burlison urged Congress to act decisively to formalize executive orders established during the Trump administration, emphasizing that failure to do so would be a significant oversight.
