 Yeah, the President doesn’t have direct action for an issue like this. Mostly due to a Supreme Court ruling limiting the options. From what I understand, congress would need to take action to reinstate roe, which the president could then sign. Or, nominate new justices for the court, but they have to be confirmed by the senate. We’ve seen them stall confirmations in the past to the point where I don’t personally see that happening.
