I mean, if they already have received the death sentence, I see no problem with carrying it out now. It's not like random petty criminals are being suddenly executed or something. On the other hand, why is the president even involved in the process at all?

This.
I didn't know a president could just clap his hands together and decide, "whelp, time to ramp up this capital punishment thing." I thought the convicted had legal appeals and stuff to drag the process out, it wasn't just a matter of the president deciding to get on w/ it right away.
I'm fine w/ people guilty of murders getting executed, as long as the process isn't rushed and evidence withheld / investigations into whether the trial was a sham / etc...
It's still digusting that Cameron Todd Willingham and many like him were killed despite likely being innocent.
