No to Presidential Immunity, Yes to Trust

While the world (and the daily news cycle) has been focusing on Vice President Kamala Harris and her presidential bid, current president Joe Biden has remained busy, behind the scenes, focusing on a few items we all should care about. President Biden believes that no one—neither the President nor the Supreme Court—is above the law. In the face of this crisis of confidence in America’s democratic institutions, President Biden is calling for three bold reforms to restore trust and accountability:  ADVERTISEMENT Get the  'WEIRD'  bumper  sticker . No Immunity for Crimes a Former President Committed in Office:  President Biden shares the Founders’ belief that the President’s power is limited—not absolute—and must ultimately reside with the people. He is calling for a constitutional amendment that makes clear no President is above the law or immune from prosecution for crimes committed while in office. This  No One Is Above the Law Amendment  will state that the Constitution does no

Madam President, the song.

Vice President Kamala Harris has the nation in a frenzy as voters gear up for what could be another historic presidential race.

There are still those who question the background,  race , and  record  (particularly the treatment of African American men) of the candidate who claims to care about the rights and freedoms of Americans.

Should President Biden's Neurologist Visit Be a Big Deal?

They're coming from the left.  They're coming from the right. They're coming... for President Joe Biden to make him step down from his position as President of the United States.
