What force does that possibly employ?

When you revoke the degree of a sitting president, that costs him...?

It costs him the only thing he cares about: his ego

I see two risks with your analysis. First, you generally underestimate a person if you try to distill his personality into one negative trait (or, for that matter, if you select a bunch of negative traits but assume no positive.)

Second, he's still the president, so I don't see what pull the Penn degree has vs. that.
