He's only accountable to Congress (SCOTUS also affirmed that) and good fucking luck ever getting the required votes to remove him from office. He can do whatever he wants with impunity.
- paulddraper 2y ago> He's only accountable to Congress (SCOTUS also affirmed that) No, SCOTUS ruled that the President is not subject to criminal prosecution. --- On many, many occasions, the courts have ruled executive actions invalid. On no occasion, have courts assigned criminal liability to a President. SCOTUS explicitly affirmed that as the rule.
- sumeno 2y agoI'm sure the SCOTUS that said "your crimes are legal" will stand up to him now
- roenxi 2y agoSCOTUS pointed out that they weren't crimes committed by Trump. We then saw the political prosecutions of Trump backfire spectacularly in a way that strongly suggests that the balance of the US population agreed with the SCOTUS call that the prosecutors didn't have a case that Trump had to answer for.
