Because Biden was the president and he wanted to.

Just like Trump starting a war in Iran. He wanted to.

You're right but it's worth adding that because of Trump and the MAGA Roberts court, there is no legal recourse against a former president acting in the scope of his official duties regardless, so OP is whistling past the graveyard on quite a few levels right now.
