He can coast after 1/20.

Until then I want him to do 100% of the job he was hired for.

They have the requisite number of state legislatures on board. All that's required is the President signing the Registry, as I understand things. Not sure what is the hold-up.

There are specific cases listed elsewhere that he should completely pardon and released from jail. But this is a big one for me.

It is the one thing that cannot be undone by the next admin.

Even if they managed to pass a law or wite some executive orders, they could be undone.
