Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Not on this, we aren't there yet. However the villain here could well find ways to not pay, that's not new at all. But no, prez isn't able to openly defy that part of the Constitution at this point.
He won't try either, he took a bribe to pardon this dick. That's what happened.
Oh so allowing the president to sell pardons, wreck the global economy and world power structure is fine? Okay that last part may not be awful but it's just happenstance if it works out better if the old fool ends up with a better outcome. Except enriching himself nothing was planned. That's all he doing. That's it. He doesn't care about squat besides it.
The constitution may as well be a strip of toilet paper at this point, cause the US has an adminstration only looking out for themselves and how to be rich without a care how it impacts anyone else, in their own or other countries.
So whatever he's not allowed to do he'll try it before his term is done he did it his first and he has fewer responsible people around to tell him no now. Cause that's also what project 2025 wants, to break the world so they can be their own lords over shit cause they're billionaires.
Be like Snow Crash (the worst of the cyberpunk outcomes of what I've read) if we let them get away with it.
