Michael Moore wants President Joe Biden to leave the White House a “hero.” According to the renowned filmmaker, the president should benefit from 'full immunity' and implement a 'bucket list' of reforms during his last 100 days in office.
“With a simple stroke or two of your presidential pen, you can improve the lives of millions of people in ways you never thought possible,” Moore wrote in his Substack on Saturday.

Pointing to the Supreme Court's recent ruling on presidential immunity, which provided sweeping protections for “official acts” of sitting presidents — which has created judicial power over Donald Trump's efforts to undermine the 2020 election — Moore argued that Biden now can essentially rule as he pleases while he remains in office.
“Some people are now calling you a 'lame duck' president, but then it occurred to me: You're not done yet. You have 100 days left in office! And the Supreme Court just granted you superpowers – AND immunity!” the film director continued.
Moore described a series of executive actions he believes Biden should take before January 20, 2025, asserting that the initiatives “already have the support of the majority of the American people.”
Moore's “Bucket List for Scranton Joe” included 13 line items, such as officially declaring the Equal Rights Amendment “the 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution,” eliminating student and medical debt, banning spam texting and granting clemency for non-violent drug offenders, and pardoning Edward Snowden.
The Hollywood veteran also called on Biden to “free the hostages in Gaza, free the political prisoners in Israel and stop this carnage,” warning that his presidential legacy risked being defined by continued violence and conflict in Israel and Palestine.
“You want to help people, Joe. That is your legacy. That's the Real Joe Biden,” Moore wrote.
