Former President Joe Biden experienced such “cognitive decline” while in office that it remains a serious question as to whether he was aware of the substance of the various pardons and commutations signed in his name via autopen, the GOP-controlled House Oversight Committee asserted in a letter it sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi, urging her to consider whether that clemency might be invalid and to take action for potential prosecution against some of Biden’s aides.
The committee “deems void President Biden’s executive actions that were signed using the Autopen, and the committee determines that action by the Department of Justice is warranted to address the legal consequences of that determination,” it wrote to Bondi released Tuesday morning.
So they are opening the door for voiding presidential pardons based on competency? That’s going to be interesting in 3 years. I think conflict of interest could be considered just as compromising as cognitive decline. Could also have implications for Oliver North.
But also, the way Trump always claims he doesn’t know anything about <that>, I would suggest he also is unaware of what is being done in his name, regardless of who holds the pen.
interesting in the way that the democrats will do nothing about it and then when the GOP gets back in they’ll make it worse.
It’s interesting you think everything is just gonna continue on like normal. Republicans are never relinquishing power again. There will be no more Democratic party in three years.
People like you on Lemmy really annoy me, always negative about anything said about politics. Are you trying to kill hope? I honestly don’t see what your comment adds to the discussion.
Hope is for people who want to sit around doing nothing while they wait for things to spontaneously get better all on their own.
