    Every single Executive Order suggested by the author can be immediately repealed by Trump on day one.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

      Biden should pardon the entire prison population, except for J6 convicts and other Republican extremists, and then wish Trump “good luck”.

      He should be issuing broad federal pardons for any of the political targets Trump is threatening. Hell, he should issue broad pardons for all journalists. Anyone who has past found themselves on Trump’s enemies list should get a full pardon now.

        Will pardons prevent the executions?

        Nothing will matter under law when he becomes a dictator and terminates the constitution on day one.

        There is only one way to stop this.

          How exactly does he terminate the constitution on day 1? I acknowledge that our constitutional protections are under threat, but he really doesn’t have the power to discard it, just to seek judges that don’t care about it.

      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.
