I hate this timeline.
The good news is this is illegal.
The bad news is Republicans probably don't care.
Explain more
31 U.S. Code 5112 says “No coin issued may bear the image of a living former or current President,”
Literally, who's going to stop them?
There's so much stuff that's absolutely illegal happening and nobody is stopping them. Being illegal or not is irrelevant if no one enforces it.
A lot of things are being held up by the courts, many things have been reversed by the courts, but yes they probably feel invincible at the moment.
Yeah they won't care, they'll do it anyway, and then go after critics for being "unamerican" and "anti capitalist" per NSPM-7.
Then they'll have to mint coins of Reagan.
Oh, this one's easy the way I understand things work now.
He is both former AND current, so fire up the mint.
God damn XOR
I was about to say, I was pretty sure that was a law, instituted to stop... oh, what was it again? Oh ya. FASCISM.
Amendment incoming!
Thank you!
Nah man, spoilers!
FR after I posted this I saw a headline saying Trump started slurring speech and disappeared for days.
