Let’s suppose the 2028 election is over and there is a new president who, during his term, implements good policies such as (free, standardized ID for all citizens, an improvement to the ACA that includes several measures from M4A, more lenient copyright laws, more lenient patent laws, increased funding for science and technology that benefits the nation, the creation of a Department of Science and Technology, etc.) However, he also implements bad policies (a tax on all types of software, including FOSS; more rampant and less transparent lobbying at all three levels; budget cuts for science and technology that are not useful to the nation; and the elimination of health standards for imported food products.)

But in 2031, a news story breaks revealing that the president used AI (Algocracy) to propose, manage, and implement policies. A controversy erupts over a lack of transparency, prompting the president to issue a statement confirming that the report is true.

How would people react to this development? Would the president face any sanctions or impeachment proceedings for using AI? Could it affect his reelection chances?
