“Article II: Where The US Constitution Gives a President The Right To Do Whatever They Want?”

That’s what most conservatives, Republicans, and others on the right believe - the unitary executive theory of the presidency as advanced by the likes of Trump and Bill Barr, consistent with the authoritarian right’s contempt for our democratic institutions and the will of the people; the president as absolute despot and dictator:

“Under the George W. Bush administration's interpretation of the unitary executive theory, the president has authority over members of the executive branch.

He functions as a CEO or Commander-in-Chief, and his power is restricted only by the U.S. Constitution as interpreted by the judiciary.

Congress can hold the president accountable only by censure, impeachment or constitutional amendment. Legislation restricting the executive branch has no power.”

This is what makes Trump and Republican presidents a threat to the Constitution, the rule of law, and the protected liberties of the people.

How do we know when the president does whatever he wants? That's right, we depend on the media but what happens when the media becomes the propaganda arm of a tyrannical regime? We won't know until it's too late.

The media… isn’t a single thing. It is so disparate that what you suggest just isn’t possible.

Georgia Prosecutors Oppose Plea Deals For Trump, Meadows and Giuliani.

Georgia prosecutors oppose plea deals for Trump, Meadows and Giuliani

Exclusive: sources say Fulton county prosecutors unwilling to offer deals to key trio, preferring instead to force them to trial

www.theguardian.com

Fulton county prosecutors do not intend to offer plea deals to Donald Trump and at least two high-level co-defendants charged in connection with their efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia, according to two people familiar with the matter, preferring instead to force them to trial.

The individuals seen as ineligible include Trump, his former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, and Trump’s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani.

Aside from those three, the Fulton county district attorney Fani Willis has opened plea talks or has left open the possibility of talks with the remaining co-defendants in the hope that they ultimately decide to become cooperating witnesses against the former president, the people said.

The Courts ARE a co-equal branch to the Presidency; that's why the AG stands between the courts and a would-be dictator president.

Hahaha the AG isn’t part of the judicial branch you idiot

the AG is literally a cabinet level executive position that serves at the pleasure of the president

You can't win this, struth. The AG stands between the DOJ and the President, who will not be allowed to interfere with or direct investigations and indictments.

The last one tried it with Sessions and Barr, who both told him to fuck off.

Haha who told them to fuck off?

It’s a simple fact, the DOJ is a executive branch agency. It’s entire existence is to help the president execute his power

But please, I beg you to show me the constitutional provision that makes you think the DOJ has its own power…what democratic principles make you believe some unelected officials at the DOJ have some executive power over the president?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Yes, because...in spite of the fact that he is a demented fool of a professional pol who doesn't know squat and lies out his ass all the time......

He's a much better alternative than who will replace him should he die.

I used to pray for Obama for the same reason.

Even “if” he died, the Body Double kept Kamala from becoming President

Read sober, please. They told him, to fuck off.

The AG will not let the President interfere in any case.

hahah when did they tell them that? If the President wants to, he certainly can...and he can tell them to F off, and can their asses.

What part of that don't you understand?

Read the Constitution, the President, not the AG, is the boss, the President, and only the President has the powers of the Executive, any power the AG has to enforce law comes from the President, who has ALL the law enforcment power....at least Federally.

Show where the President ever had the authority and successful ability to direct cases.

You can't.

And don't say he will use the military, because Milley told him last time he bought that nonsense up that he would be taken into custody for trying to overturn the Constitution.

The President appoints the AG, the Senate ratifies, and the President steps back.

It’s funny how Dainty doesn’t grasp that even his attempts at satire are massive flops.

Hahaha no he doesn’t…it’s not a judicial appointment

The AG is literally in his cabinet…reports directly to him

Wow you dembots aren’t even aware of basic civics

Ha Ha Ha... yes, he does. The President does not meddle with cases.

Ha Ha Ha... yes, he does. The President does not meddle with cases.

That’s a personal choice for a president, the question is does he have the power to and he absolutely does

Look debot, yoj are clearly clueless…you literally thought the AG was a separate co equal branch of govt a few post back…nobody takes anything you say seriously now
