He's being disingenuous to pretend he needs congresses authority to reschedule a drug that is entirely in his perview.

It's being polite to say he's showing a lack of leadership. He's hoping to shift the debate from the administration and give a platform for right wing drug warriors in congress to muddy the waters of a very clear issue.

Rescheduling marijuana will cost the Banks Billions in dirty dollars.

Its a small price to pay to disproportionately jail and punish minorities when economies are at stake (sarcasm)
