The price of oil would drop instantly if the President would declare through executive order the lifting of all restrictions on domestic drilling and refining. And then do it.

I don’t know if he can do that by executive order.
But the President has the power of Pardon. He could pardon all oil companies for past, present or future drilling activities. I think he could apply this to both civil and criminal issues.
I am not sure, but is there any Constitutional scholars here on FR who think otherwise?
