> citing inflation, the housing market, law enforcement corruption, and legalizing marijuana as key campaign issues

The first two of those issues were Trump issues in his campaign and Trump rescheduled marijuana to schedule 2.

There was an EO, but that is not law. Cannabis is still schedule I last I checked. The order is to make it schedule III.

A president can not make a law, only sign them into existence. He can also direct enforcement or lessen it.

As far as I understand, the Schedule of Cannabis is written into the US Code. So Congress would need to amend it.

It's under the purview of the executive branch to determine drug scheduling

> The term "list I chemical" means a chemical specified by regulation of the Attorney General ... until otherwise specified by regulation of the Attorney General
