I think it is still a good idea.

It reduces the chance of cult behavior.

Your point is well taken.

        You need not have any doubt on this issue. The Constitution is clear. - NedoftheHill - 4:02pm 11/14/25
        Since when does Trump care about the constitution? [NT] - Domer From Hell - 4:38pm 11/14/25
        Your accusation has nothing to do with our discussion. Just taking random shots now? - NedoftheHill - 1:39am 11/15/25

    - Since you couldn't oppose what I said w/o mentioning Dems, name them? [NT] - Quest4twelve - 12:09pm 11/14/25
      - It's a matter of public record. Bills were introduced by D's Serrano & Hoyer, just for example. - NedoftheHill - 1:17pm 11/14/25

  - Their blind devotion is odd. They actually think they’re part of the “club.” - Domer From Hell - 11:05am 11/14/25
- Trump won't finish his current term. - conorlarkin - 10:31am 11/14/25
  - Good chance that Trump will quit after the Mid-Terms and get a pardon from JD Vance... - TyroneIrish - 12:50pm 11/14/25
    - That's pretty silly. He won't quit. Besides, he can always pardon himself. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 1:20pm 11/14/25
      - There's no precedent for your opinion on "Self Pardoning"...let's bookmark this thread and see what - TyroneIrish - 2:05pm 11/14/25
        That you know of. There is no precedent or explicit limitation against it. - NedoftheHill - 2:59pm 11/14/25
        Even "Tricky Dick" didn't try that avenue...probably listened to the OLC and thought about the rule - TyroneIrish - 5:57pm 11/14/25
        You don't know that. He might have left office with a pocket pardon, but Ford made it unnecessary. - NedoftheHill - 1:41am 11/15/25
