Clarifying continued recognition of Jerusalem as the capital[edit]

Re Ferret's revert for being unsourced.

As it stands, the bit about keeping the embassy in Jerusalem glosses over the context of why that decision is of significance. It links to United States recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel, but per MOS:NOFORCELINK I think adding even a few words of background information would provide a sufficient understanding.

The existing sources on that paragraph cover what I would like to add. Here's what I'd like it to be changed to:

"Early on the Biden administration addressed Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital. The White House confirmed that the U.S. Embassy would remain in Jerusalem and it would continue to be recognized as the capital."

That should be covered by existing reference [1]https://rollcall.com/2021/02/09/white-house-confirms-biden-will-keep-embassy-in-jerusalem/

Let me know your thoughts. Thanks. Arcturus95 (talk) 20:03, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While your edit was unsourced at the time, I was primarily reverting the sockpuppet AidanCristianoRonaldo123. If you have sources to back your edit, go forth. -- ferret (talk) 20:22, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect, thanks. Arcturus95 (talk) 20:25, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of Enacted Legislation[edit]

There should be a list of legislative accomplishments. If "accomplishments" is too partisan, then "claimed legislative accomplishments" or "Notable Enacted Legislation" or just "Enacted Legislation" I don't know what the heading should be. Of course, a list of EVERY law Biden signed might not be too interesting, but those laws that are widely regarded as notable should maybe be listed here. I would be willing to do the work.

I agree with your suggestion. There is a Major acts and legislation section for Obama, so could copy the name and organization structure from there. Arcturus95 (talk) 02:20, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
