Can a Democratic President take the Medal of Freedom away from the racist?

[Quixote1818]

That would be extremely satisfying to see Trump's face if that could happen. Everyone knows it's ridiculous and offensive. It needs to be pulled even though Rush will likely be gone by then.

1. I don't think Limbaugh will make it that far.nt.

4. I agree Rush will probably be gone but it should still be taken back.

It's a slap in the face to minorities and women. I know they can give medals of honor after soldiers are dead so can medals be pulled as well after someone has died?

2. If he could... Biden's would be gone

3. He'll be a dead racist long before we have a Democratic President.

5. We'll do what they do in baseball:

I'm sure Wikipedia has a list of medal recipients. Have them put an asterisk by his name.

6. Nope, like a Presidential Pardon, once granted, no take backs.

Think Bill Cosby

7. The gop has just said the President can do whatever she/he wants

I'd love to see it!

8. Thing is, even if it could, it would be a bad precedent.

You'd have no continuity of laws, if an elected president started erasing what the prior president did.

as we have learned......

We get more mileage out of the anger that trump created by Rush's undeserved honor.

9. +1. A thoughtful and sober post.

10. Dude's not going to make it through the summer

So, the question is more or less moot.

11. Medals given by Trump are not for merit and should have an asterisk next to them
