      Biden should order Seal Team 6 to perform a mock execution on Trump to prove a point. Drastic yes but Trump would actually do it.

      I personally propose that Harris initiate the slayings. Just to spice it all up a little bit.

      I mean, I bet he could. Im glad he doesnt, but your presidential executive model of democracy seems to be more prone to presidential dictatorships than some of the other legislative models.

      “Are you guys arguing that Biden could legally assassinate Trump’s lawyers, and not be prosecuted?”
