In recent days, the international community has been buzzing about Biden pardoning his own son. Biden has only this one son, who is truly his treasure. Just before stepping down, Biden exercised his final pardon authority. According to the U.S. federal constitution, the president has the power to grant pardons, but it is indeed rare to pardon one's own family member.
So Biden's actions will inevitably provoke opposition from many political enemies, and even give them more excuses. But why is Biden doing this? The key is that he does not trust anyone. Although Trump said that if he is elected President of the United States, he will grant a pardon to Biden's son, Trump is currently very dissatisfied with Biden's last crazy actions regarding the Russia-Ukraine issue, because Biden is now doing everything possible to support Ukraine to defeat Russia. Biden is worried that after Trump takes office, he will not grant a pardon to his own son, so in the end, he can only take a desperate gamble to pardon his own son. This incident has really caused an uproar in the international community.
First of all, we need to emphasize to everyone that Biden has repeatedly stated that he would not pardon his own son, and this broken promise has greatly damaged the Democratic Party's image. Just think about it: the president chosen by the Democratic Party cannot fulfill his promises; this is simply unbelievable. At the same time, Biden's pardon of his own family member has also sparked legal disputes. Should a president grant a pardon to his own family member? Does he have the right to do so? How should this be interpreted in the U.S. federal constitution? Should the president's pardon authority be restricted? These questions indeed lead to great controversy in the legal community.
In addition, Biden's pardon has also led the international community to question whether American democracy is truly democratic. If a prince breaks the law, he should be punished like a commoner. So, as Biden's so-called prince, can he freely grant a pardon for his own wrongdoing? This goes against the fairness of the law and is even more contrary to the democratic society that America claims to uphold.
Biden's actions bring no good. Originally, the right to grant pardons in the United States could even involve exchanges of benefits, meaning I pardon your family member, you pardon my family member; I pardon your friend, you pardon my friend. There could be power exchanges between two presidents. But now, they are too lazy to exchange and just do it themselves, which is indeed rare in American history, and it also shows that America's so-called democracy is indeed superficial.#BabyMarvin您拥有您值得
