Let's imagine. What if President Biden goes (good guy) rogue in the coming months?

How can he use executive orders and presidential immunity to make lasting changes?

Someone suggested firing Merrick Garland, which is a good start.

Could he somehow fire Postmaster DeJoy? Or expand the postal board and pack it?

Increase aid to Ukraine?

I don't know enough about the federal government to guess what kind of actions he could take, but I'm sure many on DU have thoughts.
