You will use the stray voltage tactic – lots of initiatives released all at once so the regime media cannot focus on all of them.
By the time they whip up a frenzy about, say, the repeal of JFK’s Executive Order 10988 allowing federal employee unions, you have signed more orders including banning the ATF from enforcing anti-gun regulations to reauthorizing the Keystone pipeline to ending any asylum applications from people illegally entering the United States.
Of course, there is one stopping all federal government payments to NGOs that facilitate illegal alien infiltration.
And for fun, you sign one ending birthright citizenship – that will lose in the courts someday, but it will make the bad guys vapor lock.
Do not forget the order requiring the preservation of all materials from the last administration – you want a solid basis for obstruction of justice charges for any bureaucrat trying to cover up Biden administration crimes and corruption.
You will also issue an order reserving for yourself the authority to authorize any investigation or prosecution of any member of your administration.
You recognize that the DOJ is not independent, that it answers to the elected chief executive – you. And that it has flushed away any entitlement to the benefit of the doubt.
Oh, and your order reminds federal law enforcement that expending government resources on unauthorized activities – like those you just unauthorized – is a federal crime, which your new, power-washed Department of Justice will prosecute.
You also inform the agency handling security clearances that you are granting security clearances to your entire administration effective in seven days, but you will consider specific evidence disqualifying certain individuals. The hoary “Let’s slow walk clearances” game to hamstring your administration will not work.
Now come the pardons. There’s a big pile of them on your desk.
J6 political prisoners, Republican victims of Democrat frame jobs, and other conservative recipients of double standards all walk.
You make it known you expect them to be processed out of prison by midnight – and that you will fire those insubordinate federal employees who fail to obey.
In fact, you execute a memo that directs that insubordinate federal employees will be fired immediately – there’s some technical reclassification language in there, but the bottom line is that if you play stupid bureaucratic games, you will win stupid bureaucratic prizes. Let them sue; the civil service laws insulating executive branch employees from chief executive oversight and control are unconstitutional anyway.
