President Trump insisted there are “no limits” to his power when asked in a new interview about his takeaways from the Iran war.

The president was pressed by Axios’s Marc Caputo during an interview about whether he learned there are bounds to his power during the Middle East conflict.

“I haven’t learned that lesson yet,” he replied. “I know there are, but there are no limits. We defeated them totally militarily.”

      We won’t make him accountable. We’ll fucking tear him apart, and his kids will be held accountable.

      By that I mean we’re going to throw them in a cia black site and use some highly enhanced techniques to get every bit of Intel they have, they stole, and they sold. At which point they would be too much of a security risk to ever release. Keep them in solitary until their execution for treason.

      Then do the same for the billionaires that bought his power.

      Better yet, strip their citizenship, declare them nation states because of their wealth, then declare war on them, place sanctions on them, etc.

      They want to act like countries, treat them like one

        Ford was Nixon’s VP and after it was clear that Nixon would be impeached he resigned and Ford became president and he completely pardoned Nixon.

        Ford became VP after Nixon’s original VP Agnew resigned and since he was the speaker of the house Ford got the job.

        So Ford was VP and president without being voted in for either role.

          The most basic check on the pardon power would be it cannot be used for anyone who is part of or formerly part of the executive branch. These pardons would have to come from Congress.

          At this point the Presidential pardon power should be removed, it has been used for so many corrupt acts it is not funny.

            These pardons would have to come from Congress.

            And maybe make some rule about how the same party cannot count as much. Because Republicans.

              Seeing the wealthy people pretend Trump did nothing wrong during Trumps last two impeachments was ridiculous. The Senate is truly an institution that knows no low.
