a lame duck or outgoing politician is an elected official whose successor has already been elected or will be soon. An outgoing politician is often seen as having less influence with other politicians due to their limited time left in office. Conversely, a lame duck is free to make decisions that exercise the standard powers with little fear of consequence, such as issuing executive orders, pardons, or other controversial edicts.

Now that Biden’s a lame duck, having passed the torch to his successor at the DNC, what will he do during the final portion of his presidency?

Feel free to add answers, but make sure that your answer makes sense when prefaced with “Biden will do: <your answer>”. I reserve the right to ask for mods to N/A any answers which I determine to be off-topic. As this is likely to involve subjective calls, I won’t be trading here.

Answers will Resolve YES when an action has been reported by the White House, Biden himself, or multiple national US (or very highly respected international: BBC, Al Jazeera) journalistic organizations. Events must occur after market creation. All open answers will Resolve NO when Biden’s successor is officially sworn in.

Resolve Hunter

bought Ṁ50 YES

AP reports that Biden has pardoned his son for both the gun possession and tax case. https://apnews.com/article/biden-son-hunter-charges-pardon-pledge-24f3007c2d2f467fa48e21bbc7262525

opened a Ṁ500 NO at 33% order

What’s the standard/resolution criteria for “Forgive more student debt”?

@pdw assuming that you asking what happens when the Supreme Court blocks it. For each of these, they’ll Resolve YES on Biden’s action, not on the same ultimate result.

So once Biden announces a(nother) forgiveness program, it can Resolve YES
