Turns out as long as they have ( R ) next to their name, the president can operate with all the integrity of a five year old trying to get out of cleaning their room

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

I always go back to that early coronavirus briefing where a reporter questioned his authority to dictate state government lockdown policies and he just sat there stunned, repeating "when you're the president your authority is total because you have total authority, it's total..." It's been clear for years that this fucking guy never understood the job description, and rather than learning anything from experience, he's having it rewritten. The constitution isn't going to save us from that.
The answer is clearly "no." He's been doing unconstitutional shit since day 1, and nobody has stopped him.
To be fair, I don't know either. I mean he's supposed to, and he swore an oath to, but if nobody is going to enforce that then must he really? What happens if/when he doesn't?
Oh he literally forgot the oath of the presidency? Sounds like a good reason to invoke the 25th amendment.
You just gotta love it that this shit stain is supported by constitution lovers
"lovers"
Trump probably had his fingers crossed while he took the oath.
He didn't bother putting his hand on the Bible. Not that I care, but you'd think his "omg christian patriot doggy mommy" followers would say something.
There's only one correct answer and that's not it...
WHY IS THIS SHIT ALLOWED! THIS MAN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN ANY RESPONSIBLE POSITION! HE SHOULDN'T BE IN CHARGE OF A LEMONADE STAND MUCH LESS A COUNTRY! WHY DID AMERICA ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN! THE MAN DOESN'T WANT TO DO HIS JOB OF UPHOLDING THE CONSITUTION! THAT'S LIKE A DOCTOR SAYING THEY DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE TO ABIDE BY THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH! TRUMP AND ALL OF THE REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS NEED TO BE TRIED FOR TREASON! WHY HAS THIS MADNESS GONE ON SO LONG!
When you say "Allowed" there is no one above him to stop him at this point besides the other branches of government.
Yes, I'm asking why the other branches of government are allowing this
Thank you for saying this for me.
I'm pretty sure this is a bot account
I dont even trust the voting system. There has been many attempt at manipulating the results. Maybe America didnt allow this.
Doesnt matter though. This guy is awful and dangerous as president.
You shouldn't, they stole the election, here are the receipts.

THERE IS NO ADULT WAITING IN THE WINGS TO SWOOP IN AND SAVE YOUR NATION! BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE! THE REASON NO ONE IS STOPPING THIS IS EVERYONE IS BUSY ASKING "WHY IS THIS SHIT ALLOWED!"!
Someone did try to stop it but he missed.
What are you doing then? I see a lot of people chastising others for not doing anything while also not doing anything
I think the fact he said 'your nation' instead of 'our nation' should answer your question
I'm not American

At this point I’m just curious how long this will go on. What would have to tilt for a group of politicians to overhaul his ass and the r’s supporting him?
I believe it will continue until the politicians are scared of an angry mob kicking in their door.
"I don't think so" is what he meant
I AGREE! The Founders had NO IDEA what the Future would be LIKE when they Wrote it!
-People who VIGOROUSLY DEFEND School Shooters because of the Second Amendment!
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
-President Trump, just this year.

You proud now MAGAts? Does this make you proud?
They don't care. All they care about is their in-group is strong and the out-group is punished. They're shitty people.

All I can do is laugh at this point. This regime is so buffoonish and so open with their intentions that I genuinely wonder how people fell for this shit and continue to believe it. Are we really this fucking dumb ?

This is the oath he had to make when he took office.
