    The former VP actually only gets 6 months of protection by default. Beyond that it needs to be actively extended, which Trump didn’t do.

      my understanding was that biden did extend it for a further year. trump actively cancelled that.

      it wasnt just him letting it lapse, it was a move of spite

      To be more accurate, he actively cancelled an extension granted by a previous executive order.
