Could be using his last days on something constructive, or to earn lower and midde class trust back. Instread why not one last war crime for the road.
He could be using his king powers granted by the SCOTUS to give minimum wage, the funds he promised, fully cancel student debt, keep queer protections, make abortion legal, or any of the things he said he would do but somehow was always stopped.
But he just keeps giving aid to "Literally Genocide LLC" because who cares, he'll take that AIPAC money and run before the Trump fans start going after him.
None of that is possible for the president to do. That's all legislation. An official act isn't creating legislation.
And yet, this Supreme Court will grant trump immunity for every illegal action he takes while in office.
Official acts for the president would include using the military to do something. It's the executive branch. So yeah, he can do that. As for anything else he does that's unconstitutional, he would have to be impeached, which both congress and the Senate would vote against now. So yea. He can get away with shit. But he can't make legislation, he can just get Congress to write it and the Senate to sign off so the legislation goes through. Something that I don't believe that has happened since 2009 for a 2 month span, which is when Obama forced the American Care Act through.
