Abortion vote

Biden promises to codify Roe if two more Democrats are elected to the Senate but experts say this will not work. According to the constitution congress cannot overturn state law. Although many Americans believe that Congress has the power to enact laws in almost every field, that is a serious misconception. Under our system of government, the states are the basic source of lawmaking, and Congress is limited to the powers specifically enumerated in the Constitution. Those powers are significant, but far from unlimited, and do not include the ability to make abortions legal. Biden is counting on the fact that many low information voters will not know this and think if the democrats get these two votes that Biden can then return the country to Roe.
