> The same one who just said PE isn't allowed to buy any more residential real estate?

We'll see. That was just an EO. That doesn't really have the force of law behind it. There's not a regulatory body (AFAIK) that would or could prevent PE from gobbling up a home.

But if there's a route to stop it then I'm not opposed to it. PE buying essential goods and industries is bad for everyone.



It wasn't even an EO. It was a tweet.


The President's statements, and even unspoken thoughts, have the full force of law. This President, anyway-- I think the Supreme Court has a special criterion they use to determine whether Unitary Executive Theory should apply to a particular administration.


Yes, if admin == Republican.


My impression is it was also mostly a publicity stunt.
