JFC you don't understand.
Imagine this hypothetical: If I recruit you into the police force, give you a badge and a gun, and send you out without bullets: you still can't shoot people. You're legally allowed to shoot people in specific contexts, but you physically cannot because you have no ammo. In order for Biden to "Get Ammo" he would need someone to give it to him, e.g. the Senate. He has plenty of stuff to use, like a stun gun or a baton.
Biden cannot change how the government functions, the laws as they apply to everyone, or how the federal budget is allocated or capped. He can have people beaten to death in their home as an official act, but he can't rewrite the constitution.
Everyone understands but you. Go read the document.

It does not give you 3 Genie Wishes to make whatever you want a reality.
For "official acts", which are completely undefined. Read better.
Finally, you understand.
