Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt is one of several Attorneys General who are suing the Biden Administration over executive orders that, he says, exceed presidential authority when it comes to policy decisions. Specifically, the lawsuits deal with the stoppage of the Keystone XL pipeline and the moratorium on drilling for oil and natural gas on federal lands.
