There is literally no constitutional basis to suggest that the framers intended for the President to be permanently immune from legal prosecution.

That's objectively untrue. There's clearly a basis.

Cut the shit, and just say you want the president to be above the law.

The President is above the law. That's why the impeachment process exists. That's why Obama and Bush (and Trump) can't be prosecuted for spying on every single American citizen. It's why they can't be taken to court for manslaughter for the Innocents they kill extrajudicially.

Their decisions have consequences and unless they rise to the level of impeachment their immune from them. That's how the law is written, that's how it's been consistently interpreted.

Yes & No we killed an American and his American son in Yemen. That made the news. Technically a terrorist is a political opponent; but it not necessarily a correlation here. The "more legitimate" examples are all with varying levels of conspiracy and they tend to be old because of the way information is disseminated. But things like JFK, RFK, MLK Jr., Malcom X, MOVE bombing etc... are all examples of the Hoover Era FBI exercising that power.

And we have rendition as a well known example of extrajudicial torture and murder of US citizens that we know has been used against Innocents in the past.

Hopefully we can do it without revolution, they tend to be bloody.

This problem isn't technically a Constitutional problem. It can be solved with a simple act of Congress.

Yes. The US has on several occasions extra judicially killed American citizens without due process.

The 1929 law prevents the total number of Congressmen from changing. Adjusting the number of Congressmen is called reapportionment. What you're talking about is just redistricting.

Well now I feel silly. Brb changing my default path.

If it's any consolation I hope I'm wrong too. But historically, when it comes to government overreach; I've been disappointingly correct.

We need to reapportion the House. And make reapportion something that happens every 10 years with the census. That would fix most of these structural issues with voting.

Probably be cause that's a defacto power the executive branch has claimed and used since at least the Bush era.

Can we just have flatpak apps added to the system path by default? Like have a directory /usr/local/flatpak/bin and have links to all the executable show up there. Then users can choose to add that to their path if they wish.
