to pardon everyone including himself and he can fire anybody he wants because he has wide ranging immunity.
So why did our founding fathers insist that we dont have royalty? Why did the Boston Tea Party dump the royal tea in 1773? They werent doing it because they didnt like tea. They did it to object to and reject King George as our king.
And if they had wanted our country to have kings, why would they only allow a maximum of 8 years for the Presidency, or for people to have a vote, or to have the Executive have only one third of the power.
These are questions deep into Duh territory so why are people actually debating this shit. It seems to be all Im hearing on MSNBC today. Trump people like Giuliani and Republican Congesspeople are completely supine, pretending they arent noticing, or outright supportive of this idea.
What the fuck!
