I think you overestimate the power of the president, who's power, ultimately, is persuasion, moreover, you neglect how he was running up hill against the wind. Both parties and his own VP actively worked against him. A mere 8 days into his presidency, courts started national inductions against his EOs
What I mean, is that Trump signed a bunch of EO as well, but within 8 days people ran to the courts and got the court to issue an injunction to prevent them from going into effect. This happened so much we made a joke of it on Law and Society message boards called "Trump Law". This happens, of course, to all presidents, but especially to Trump.

Why is biden able to sign all these executive orders immediately going into effect then? I don't know much about the process, genuinely curious.
