>One example is the debate over whether Trump can be prosecuted. One side argues: Well, if Biden assassinated Trump with a predator drone, wouldn't you want him to be prosecuted and not protected by executive privilege? If not, Trump should be prosecuted.
We have an actual living former president (Obama) that ordered the assassination of an American citizen with a predator drone (and killed the target's 16 year old American citizen son as collateral damage) and virtually no one called for his prosecution outside of weirdos like me.

- thr0way120 3y agoExecutive privilege is an ugly back door to do whatever you want, and no amount of legal argumentation covers it up. Someone was elected to run the country, that gives them power to do things. It is assumed they are trusted to do those things. The proper mechanism to get rid of them is an impeachment. That's it. America kills people that are anti-America. Its not going to be a pretty process. The door is left open to that, and there must be protection for presidents in this system to do those things.
