In reply to the discussion: It looks like ex-president has the right to claim executive privilege for conversations they had [View all]PurgedVoter
(2,715 posts)When Bush made the Executive Order that gave himself continued Executive Privileges after he left office, it was just one more brick in the authoritarian wall of nonsense that Cheney and Bush made. Remember that Cheney insisted on rights even larger than presidential rights.
Since as a citizen, you have by constitutional law, rights that are not mentioned in the Constitution, your constitutional right to make citizen orders is much stronger than the rights of a president in areas outside of his constitutionally limited powers.
So for my first citizen order, I am declaring Trump an enemy of the state. There, I did it, now anyone who helps him is a traitor. They were before my citizen order, but now it is official.
I know this is nonsense but so are at least half of the legal shenanigans that Bush-Cheney pulled and pretty much all of the ones that Trump pulled.
