This is how it works, but only Republican presidents have this power.

This. It's only legal for GOP. If Dems try it, it's treason.

Makes perfect sense if you dont think about it.

Makes perfect sense, AND is logically consistent, if you realize the GOP believes Democrats are inherently treasonous, and that the Constitution should be interpreted only as it was when written (i.e. as a vehicle to establish a settler-colonialist white ethnostate that allowed slavery).

No. Read the Constitution.

But according to Trump the president doesn't have to actually obey the constitution. That's partially what the Supreme Court is deciding on.

If that's how this is ruled, he should do all of that... and then purge and replace the supreme court. Then appoint Hunter as the next president, just to twist the knife.

That would be amazing, or if he installed Kamala Harris, or Barak Obama. MAGA heads would explode from the racist outbursts that cannot be contained.

Wait I think I've been out of the loop for too long what the fuck?
