Comment on Why don;t more presidents put stuff to a national referendum like Clinton did a couple times? A person would get time off work to vote, show what americans actually want and so on.

Your link doesn’t mention Clinton at all, but starts with this:

Federal law does not allow national referendums in the United States where the general population gets to vote on an issue.

It happens at the State level regularly (in states where it’s used), but it’s not something a President can initiate.
