If the President does it, it's not Illegal

[7437]

Why are you? The only time people pretend to give a shit, is when someone they hate is the subject. I don't see you stamping your feet over Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified information. Which is a crime she committed BTW, and was proven.

What's a felony for some, is simple "irresponsibility" for others.

Specifically with The President though, Trump or otherwise, it's far more complicated. He has tremendous power, and at the very least, undefined leeway. He can overrule the law, and in cases where it seems he can't, it's shades of grey. As far as I can tell, there's no definite answers anywhere. I mean, it's pretty bad when nobody really knows if the President has the power to pardon himself or not. The answer should be "absolutely not", and not "Uhhh, we really don't know."

where in the constitution does it say the president can overrule the law?

He can overrule the law

False

I’d like to use this in life. “Sorry, my recollection keeps changing.”

Is Rudy drunk at all times these days?

 

[LangfordBarrow]

You guys that voted no are so full of shit. So do you want a king now with absolute power? Dirty Don's story keeps changing, the lies keep adding up, and there still a legion waiting to smooch on his ass. It's pathetic and quite a contrast to all the resistance there was when it was a minority in office.

Thread poll is ambiguous. Could be interpreted as

"Is it permissible to do these acts if president" or "can a president be charged with these crimes?"

totally. i had to change mine due to this.

Oh my bad.

<{ByeHomer}>

Nah, my post was confusing... I should never post before coffee.

Blowing through three marriages and having your own kids wanting nothing to do with you takes a toll.

I liked when Chris Farley played his son lol

He'd be defending Trump to the skies if he'd gotten an administration position.

Seriously. Let's not forget this idiot endorsed Trump, and is probable hellbent on revenge. Doesn't make him wrong, but fuck that guy.

Canadians don't know much about US constitution.

I'll always laugh at the memory of the helicopter on the closed beach

Tbf, neither do a lot of US citizens.

Looking at you, Donny Fatfuck

 

[Damien Karras]

Like it or not, it's true.

"The President is not above the law!" is a nice saying and all, but it's simply false. He is the law.

Hearing it from you validates just how completely wrong that assertion is

 

[LangfordBarrow]

Because I'm drunk and read the thread title as the poll question.

Get your life together Homer.

Still too drunk to change your vote?

 

[BEER]

Still to drink to change your vote?

That's the first time I've ever noticed the "change your vote" button. My bad.

But yeah. I'm drunk again. Look at my name.

LOL, me too right now, a nice IPA...

 

[bobgeese]

Ftr, my vote is for this case only (firing fbi Director) and not a blanket no.

Then you answered wrong, because the President and his acolytes are arguing that no action he takes, under any circumstances, is obstruction of justice.

 

[Quequeg]

If a President can intervene and stop an investigation about himself and associates we no longer live in a country with the rule of law.
