Question about the Presidential Medal of Freedom

[cabot]

Can another president revoke it? I know Obama didn't revoke Bill Cosby's because there wasn't a "precedent." But could another president revoke the one give to Rush Limbaugh?

1. Hopefully hes gone before the next president

Well they might need a shovel to get it back

2. To either dig his carcass up or

knock him in the head with it.

Edited to add: Welcome to DU.

3. Thanks!

I like the idea of knocking him in the head with it.

4. Welcome to DU!

I'm sure a shovel could be located. I have one.

6. who needs a mechanism? now the POTUS can simply declare it revoked...

...and send the FBI to retrieve misallocated government property
as long as it's in the "national interest", right?

7. If you want the next president to be as petty and vindictive as B.O.B., I suppose she could do it

[AncientGeezer]

8. Could...maybe.....would.... zero chance. It's a POTUS perogative....

The can of worms that would open....?
The next R POTUS revoke Ted Kennedy's...VP Biden's, John Lewis??

My point is that if "Medal of Freedom" start getting revoked.....it won't stop with just 1
