I would hope so, but that doesn't seem possible these days.

You would think but I鈥檝e figured out that as long as their 401 and stock holdings are going up they don鈥檛 care how immoral and criminal the president is. The hell with the rest of us.

That would set a new precedent.

No. It's a job. They just need to be competent. President is not a King. Yet

As Chomsky said, "If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged." In summation, it should, but power disagrees on that front and we ain't in the driver's seat.

This presumes that voters are decent human beings.

That would have disqualified most of our presidents of any party...
Replying to @marwilliamson
Nah, that's not part of our representatives' representation.
