      Biden could have:

      1. Called the governor and demanded he pardon him
      2. Popularized this issue given his massive platform
      3. Signed an executive order that, while it wouldn’t have actual power to stop the Missouri state actors, could have prevented any federal employees who may have been a part of this process from participating potentially delaying the execution
      4. Sent in the National Guard to “Restore order and Justice” or done whatever he wants to as King of this hellhole (see the SCOTUS decision on presidential immunity)

      Don’t worry you can. A good person with the presidents powers would send in the national guard atleast to protect an innocent man from a deprived local official. Biden can’t be fucked of course.
