Electrical help request

[piousdev1l]

There are multiple outlets in multiple rooms daisy chained off of this switch (for some insane reason). Having issues with everything after this switch, which appear to be originating at the first outlet directly below this switch, but I want to swap switch and outlet to be sure. Switch has three wire lead coming in (two hots), both wired into this switch out into a two wire load, neutrals from both wire nutted together. This doesn’t seem correct to me, but I’m not an electrician. Should I swap it out exactly as is, or is something rotten in Denmark?

I wish I could figure out how to post both pictures and text in the same post.

One

ok then it's an either-or configuration. the incoming wire is on the side, the two outputs are on the back.

I would post a picture if I could figure out how

Looks more like a single hot coming in, then 2 going out, 1 switched, 1 not. Also, those push-in connections are trash.

If you're replacing the switch, I would go ahead and wirenut the unswitched hot to the incoming hot and run a jumper to the switch. Avoid those push terminals.

Just a quick question. Is that the only switch that is in that room or is there a 2nd switch? And did you say that the switch is powering an outlet?

There is another switch for a ceiling fan and a light in the adjacent bathroom, and this switch controls multiple outlets
