    You still haven’t learned that US legal precedent is God king. New rules dropped, presidential acts are all the rage. Biden just has to say those two words and he can regulate how long your ball hair is allowed to be.

        Doesn’t fuckin matter. Let SCOTUS mull it over for years. Drag it out through court for 4 years to see if he was allowed to do what he did do. Someone tries to reverse what he did? Fire them, let SCOTUS figure out for 4 years if he was allowed to do that too. Convince 20 lawyers to fight it until they are literally disbarred. I’m sick of democrats fussing over decorum and tradition and just giving this country away because they’re afraid of some vague rules. Make shit up. Not allowed to fire that person? Spin up some special cabinet packed with cronies and make that person report to them now. Literally anything. But biden won’t do shit. He’s taking a fucking nap, leave him alone.

          You miss the part where the court gets to decide what is or isn’t an “official act”?

            Sure, if the court case goes before them, on average of 4 years after the actual crime. But seeing as the Jan 6th case was thrown out, it won’t matter what that determination would be if ignoring the Constitution and attempting to overthrow the government isn’t past the line.
