Mayor Zohran Mamdani has moved swiftly to reshape City Hall, issuing an executive order that revokes all directives signed by former Mayor Eric Adams after September 26, 2024 — the date of Adams’s indictment.
Mamdani framed the move as a defense of working-class New Yorkers, though he did not provide specific examples of policies affected.
This reminds me of the Indemnity and Oblivion Act.
After Charles I of England was overthrown and England was declared a republic, the House of Commons seized control of supreme legislative authority and enacted various laws to govern the country without monarchy. The republic collapsed after a decade, and Charles II was crowned king again. Parliament then enacted the Indemnity and Oblivion Act, which nullified all laws passed by the republican parliament, and it even pardoned almost everyone who was convicted of a crime during that time.
FUCKING MONARCHISTS! Aight just needed to say that, one of my ancestors was exiled to the new world after that whole situation.
Even though England was a republic in name, really it was “more of the same” with the office of Lord Protector as head of state for life with powers similar to the king and the power to appoint his successor.
Don’t care ancestoral spite holds true.
