What's bad about this isn't even trying to undo congestion pricing. It's the idea that a president has legal authority to undo state or local law by executive fiat, which is absolute horseshit. This is a trial balloon. Don't accept he has this power because he absolutely DOES NOT.

I know I'm a broken record, but the president has no legal power do this. Congress could MAYBE do it under its interstate commerce power, but the president lacks authority to override state or municipal law via executive order.
