If Republicans lose control of Congress, Trump said he expects he could issue vetoes for “a month or two” before reaching compromises with Democrats.
“I guess I’ll become Mr. Veto,” Trump told the New York Post’s Pod Force One podcast in an interview excerpt released on Sunday. “And then at some point, we’ll probably make deals.”
Maybe it’s time to cut back on the powers of the executive, both the veto power against the legislative and the pardon power against the judicial branch can’t be justified in my opinion.
Same issue for the governors and state parliaments by the way.
Veto power is important, I’d hate to lose it even if it sucks. Pardons need some hard anti corruption protections and protection against pardoning of allies. At the same time though there have been a lot of pardons I really support from the nonviolent cannabis users to Chelsea Manning
I’m ok with pardons to some extent. I just have an issue with judicial acceptance of preemptive pardons which are immunities that can only be granted by legislation and that’s ignoring actual immunities that also aren’t particularly supported constitutionally.
