No can do, high crimes aren't against the law.

Biden can do whatever he wants now right?

no, the president (whoever it currently is) can do whatever he wants without any explanation needed as long as the Supreme Court (the majority selected by and loyal to trump) deems it an "official presidential action". unfortunately, all actions Biden can take would obviously fall into the "unofficial" classification because, you know, reasons of some kind and definitely no corruption.
