    No, he cannot legally, because it would be a corrupt and partisan SCOTUS deciding if that is an official act.

      That’s assuming if Biden was to issue such an order as things stand right now.

      If Biden really wanted to abuse his newfound powers of immunity, his very first official act would be making sure the supreme court won’t be standing in his way for any subsequent official acts.
