They I understand it: There was a deal to ban TikTok unless ownership changes --- the original intention was no Chinese involvement, but now it seems "ownership change" means the ownership is amicable to the current president. There was also something of a grace period for when that ban went into effect if TikTok could show they were actively in the process of finding a new owner. The current president basically just kept insisting that grace period was in effect while he constructed a bid for ownership that aligned with his and his friends (business) interests.

Basically, Congress did not do its job and ignored the very law they voted for.

Congress can't really ignore a law though, anymore than I can.

Am I ignoring the TikTok law? No, because it's not my job to enforce it.

The executive branch is the one that ignores the law.

Congress have the power to remove a president.

It feels like this is increasingly the case. Not sure what the solutions are.
