It has been too long since Congress got off its duff and actually did the job it is supposed to do for the people of the United States - that is pass laws that benefit the welfare of the people living in this country. Right now we have a Congress that is, at best, mouthing off on whether it wants to even pass a federal budget, let alone try to tackle these more thorny issues that, in the past, just let the President impose with an Executive Order without any proper Congressional oversight. 

So in this Editorial, it says that the President "seems primarily interested in passing the responsibility on to others." I would counter this statement by saying that all the President is doing is putting the onus of responsibility back on the people who should be working on this issue. 

Because no matter how you slice it, it is Congress, at the end, that passed the responsibility first, and that was wrong.
