Risks & tensions

  • Proclamation blurs ceremonial/promotional line by extensively advocating specific legislation (American Rescue Plan, American Jobs Plan) and policy positions
  • No binding obligations created; 'ask' and 'call on' language is hortatory
  • Mentions of 'commonsense steps' on gun violence and climate-health linkage are vague with no concrete mechanisms
