Lets assume a president is immune to all crime, ever. No president can be prosecuted.
What stops any president just seizing power for life?
- This is pretty much the page everyone who's paying attention is on, whether they admit it or not.
- Republicans are just betting that Biden won't just shoot Trump on live TV during the debates, since they know they have no such moral qualms.
  
  Alright.
  So. If he did that… I dunno. I think maybe if he went back to rule of law, after the fact, I might applaud.
  
  Wouldn't it be a hell of a thing if Biden could channel the vengeful spirit of Charles Sumner for just ten minutes on live TV during a debate? Class, open your history textbooks to chapter 11, The Caning of Trump.
- Well, convincing the others in the room to agree to go along with it.
To decide if every president for all time has immunity to anything they might do.
- If they decide that they do it will raise the stakes for every election we have after which probably won't be many more
  
  Well, no more without a rebellion to oust the reigning president/dictator/autocrat
Vote for clowns, get a circus.
I guess the circus has to be so ridiculous because not only is bread not free, but it's gone up in price 20-30%.
