That’s what I was thinking too. I’m just trying to figure out what the heck this is
What the IA is? It gives the president the authority to act to put down a rebellion. There are several addendums, I'm not sure are fully understood. One pertinent one that I read, but can't confirm, is that the President can't convey the power of his office while Defcon 2 or 1 is in effect. We went to COGCON 2 before he left because of the Capitol riots. I'm assuming that same rule applies to COGCON 2 (Continuity of Gov't Condition). So the implication is that Trump never conveyed the power of the Presidency to Biden per the emergency rules of COGCON. Could all be bullshit, don't know, just passing it along.
