Basically revoking any executive order Adams made after he was indicted in the final fifteen months and five days of his term of officewas presumptively corrupt.
If Democrats ever regain power - take heed of how its done!

(37,336 posts)Because that, apart from signaling, is what matters.
Oh, no. I stand corrected. For many, apparently, only it's the signaling that matters.
(Seriously, for all I know the set of EOs revoked is an empty set. Yippee, he revoked nothing and we're all ecstatic over it.)

(219 posts)Perhaps accountability............after someone has serious charges against them and gets pardoned by a rogue entity, the EO"s he issued should absolutely be null and void........we need more adherence to the rightness of actions. Signaling in and of itself can be positive. I choose to view it this way! Good luck, Mr. Mamdani, we all wish you much success.

(6,502 posts)there is. But its a statement that a politician who signed executive orders after being INDICTED can be seen as illegitimate and a good place to start cleaning house.

(445 posts)All Executive Orders issued on or after January 20,2025, and in effect on January 20, 2029, are hereby revoked.
Also, all those appointed to government positions, all those hired by ICE and Border Patrol, from January 20, 2025 to January 19, 2029, are immediately furloughed pending investigation of their qualifications.

(3,836 posts)they are fired and barred from working in any federal position. Id go further and extend the ban to any cabinet official and most of their underlings that had to be senate confirmed..

(2,142 posts)By all rights, there ought to be an establishment of a criminal record, in the rare cases where one does not already exist.
And the same goes for all staffers and cabinet members.
