The President can only legalize cannabis through an Executive Order, which is a temporary measure. They can reschedule or deschedule it through the CSA, HHS, and DEA, but Congress would need to pass legislation to decriminalize it and expunge related records.

And apparently it takes four full years to reschedule it...

At least four. Could be eight.
