U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he is terminating all documents, including pardons, that he said his predecessor Joe Biden had signed using an autopen.
It’s a slippery slope if he actually follows through and supreme court allows him to do it because the next pres could just say Trump wasn’t of sound mind so none of his EOs are valid.
I mean really, they are just executive orders. They have no strength of law and no due process. The next president could literally undue every executive order done by the previous one by just issuing an executive order that does exactly that for no reason.
Pardon’s aren’t exactly the same thing as an executive order because they have an actual constitutional and legal basis.
