    Every single Executive Order suggested by the author can be immediately repealed by Trump on day one.

    The irreversible acts Biden could take are very limited. He could pardon without reversal, as well as provide funding to allies that will surely be cut off by Trump. He could also seat the remaining vacant judge positions before Trump takes office.

    There may be more, but those are the only ones I can think of at the moment.

      If you look through that list, some of those things are easy to undo, and some are not. For example, revoking people’s citizenship would be pretty involved and would be a giant shit show.

          Agreed, but they would have to pass legislation and imagine the protests and media shit storm Trump would face if he started revoking citizenship. It would be a massive time and energy suck for the GOP.

          I’m all for anything Biden can do that will distract this Congress and administration from being able to do other shit.

            The current Congress is far less effective with split control than the fully Republican controlled Congress we have coming. The President can veto congressional legislation, but does not have the authority to redefine their power.

            Trump wouldn’t be the one revoking citizenship. It would be Congress. He’ll just point the finger.

              Why are people still discussing parliamentary bullshit like this? The man promised to be a dictator. He will have absolute power.
