AOC Sponsored Bill Fails

[BerettaGuy]

The Protecting Our Democracy Act (PODA) tackles a dozen different topics, which are explained more fully in the accompanying tabs, including:

• Limiting the president’s pardon power.
• Extending the deadline for prosecuting former presidents and vice presidents for federal crimes committed before or during their time in office.
• Enforcing the constitutional ban on presidents using the office to enrich themselves.
• Boosting enforcement of congressional subpoenas.
• Reasserting Congress’s power of the purse.
• Mandating disclosure of contacts between the White House and Justice Department.
• Strengthening protections for inspectors general.
• Strengthening protections for federal whistleblowers.
• Ensuring the Senate’s say in confirming executive branch officials.
• Bolstering enforcement of the Hatch Act.
• Ensuring access to transition resources following a presidential election.
• Requiring transparency of tax records of presidential candidates.
• Preventing foreign interference in elections.
• Clarifying federal prohibitions on foreign assistance to campaigns.

And who's the Republican that voted yea?

Some of those things are good. Some are bad.

Things I like:

• Reasserting Congress’s power of the purse.
• Bolstering enforcement of the Hatch Act
• Strengthening protections for federal whistleblowers.
• Enforcing the constitutional ban on presidents using the office to enrich themselves.

Of course these things have to be applied equally, but I think those items are good as long as they are as the headliner describes.

The problem is how are those lofty goals enforced? The devil is in the details and my sense is anything that dingbat proposes probably results in more tyranny.

But I may give a pass here because ....

Thread title is redundant. You could say "AOC Fails" and it would apply to everything she does.

Most of these are not concerning to me and I support a lot of it. What I do not support is the unequal treatment.
Id love to see some Republicans file constitutional cases against the democrats or this administration for u equal protection under the law.

AOC ok for the 15.00 a hour pay .. she should have added that in her bill that they all make the same too .. LOL ..

AOC’s Dream: A $24 Minimum Wage?

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) criticized fellow congressional colleagues for not supporting the progressive push of a $15 federal minimum wage amid efforts to get President Joe Biden’s coronavirus relief package passed in the Senate. Ocasio-Cortez dubbed anti-wage increase policymakers...

By the time Biden's done with inflation, $24 won't buy a gallon of milk or gas.

$24/hr minimum wage is worthless when a cup of coffee is $27.50

No way that's a real Tweet. (Is it?)

Truth be told, Sandy currently is the titular head of the Democrat party.

Among Baby Killers, she is resounding success.

The one that really stuck in my mind was the Limitation of Presidential Pardons.

This one really shows how stupid she is. It is in the Constitution. Apparently she thinks that a whore bartender can pass by the US Constitution.

This is where we are at, not where we are going, but this is the status of American politics today.

I like most of the list in the bill except it should be pointed at all politicians and not just the president.....

With the state of politics in DC today, they *can* bypass the constitution just like that.

They do it all the time, and they're caring less and less about even generating a pretense to cover for it.

She should stick with what she knows best videos
