In any state of cognitive powers (which is totally Trumper bunk), Biden always upheld the Constitution and didn't act like the other 2 branches of government didn't exist.
You don't remember that he signed an order to forgive student loans--while admitting it was unconstitutional?
Also,
Trump seems to be reclaiming Article II powers seized by the other branches. This has been done before by past presidents. That's upholding the Constitution. It will be up to the Supreme Court to decide if he's right or wrong. In the case of Biden claiming the power to forgive student loans, he never had it in the first place, but was casting about aimlessly to try and keep a campaign promise.
Tell us these great Presidents
I know you'll pull out some names but your side always leaves out something.
Try to keep it in the 20th century if you can
Certainly.
President Biden (successful) - Collins v. Yellen - The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 violated the separation of powers by creating a single director for the Federal Housing Finance Agency, removable by the President only “for cause.” On the day of the decision, President Joe Biden moved forward with replacing FHFA director, Mark A. Calabria, who had been appointed under Donald Trump, "with an appointee who reflects the Administration's values".
President Obama (successful) - Zivotofsky v. Kerry - Under the Reception Clause in Article II of the U.S. Constitution, only the President may grant formal recognition to a foreign sovereign, and Congress may not pass a law under its own authority to grant formal recognition or require the President to override a prior official determination of recognition. It was an improper act for Congress to “aggrandiz[e] its power at the expense of another branch” by requiring the President to contradict an earlier recognition determination in an official document issued by the Executive Branch. Freytag v. Commissioner, 501 U. S. 868, 878 (1991) . To allow Congress to control the President’s communication in the context of a formal recognition determination is to allow Congress to exercise that exclusive power itself. As a result, the statute is unconstitutional. Kennedy, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan, JJ., joined. Breyer, J., filed a concurring opinion.
President Obama (failed) - NLRB v. Canning - The Recess Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution empowers the President to fill any existing vacancy during any recess—intra-session or inter-session—of sufficient length, but three days is not sufficient length. Justice Breyer wrote the opinion of the Court, joined by Justices Kennedy, Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagan. Breyer, writing for the Court, stated, "We hold that, for purposes of the Recess Appointments Clause, the Senate is in session when it says it is, provided that, under its own rules, it retains the capacity to transact Senate business."
President Reagan (successful) - Bowsher v. Synar - The court held that the Comptroller General's role in exercising executive functions under the Act's deficit reduction process violated the constitutionally imposed doctrine of separation of powers because the Comptroller General is removable only by a congressional joint resolution or by impeachment, and Congress may not retain the power of removal over an officer performing executive powers. To permit the execution of the laws to be vested in an officer answerable only to Congress would, in practical terms, reserve in Congress control of the execution of the laws. The structure of the Constitution does not permit Congress to execute the laws; it follows that Congress cannot grant to an officer under its control what it does not possess.
