Something tells me it won’t be the last.

He took an action that took 3 years to complete instead of ending it on day one and telling the courts to fuck off.
That’s keeping it in place for 3 years.
This isn’t misinformation, this is you being intentionally dense.

POTUS is the head of the Executive Branch. He has no control over the Legislative Branch other than appointing judges in the event of vacancy.
Telling them to “fuck off” is meaningless nonsense.
Also, it still wasn’t three years. From inauguration in January of 2021 to May of 2023. You seem to really want to be right. You’d probably have more success if you cited accurate information.

The SCOTUS has no means to enforce its decisions. It knows this and has historically kowtowed to the executive when faced with its own marginalization.
The president literally can just ignore them, as Trump did when they made a ruling he didn’t like such as DACA. There’s some other precedents: revealnews.org/…/a-brief-history-of-presidents-te…

That’s true they don’t directly enforce unless the case is being heard in their court. In the case of the immunity ruling, it’s up to the judge to determine if the criminal act is considered “official” or not.
Biden has no say if Cannon decides that Trump’s document move was an “official act.”
