The Constitution was about limiting the Power of Government. It is important to look at the source material, yes?
The Constitution’s Pardon Clause, Article II Section 2, paragraph 1 states:
“and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment”.
Does this mean that state criminal offenses and federal or state civil claims are not covered?
Just asking as it seems everyone is thinking that this is an absolute when I see some limitations...could be the process engineer in me...just saying...
I just want the facts.
Due to the fire starting just after the New Year began, there has been speculation that fireworks started the fire.
The stronger version of the fireworks theory actually came from Dutch local reporting on day one: Metro Nieuws, NH Nieuws, and the Reformatorisch Dagblad (all drawing on ANP wire reporting) wrote that nearby residents stated the fire was caused by fireworks ("omwonenden hebben verklaard dat de brand is ontstaan door vuurwerk"), and https://t.co/ymvoalFcCg likewise reported neighbors suspected fireworks.
I don’t know if this is what happened, but it does need to be addressed before other reasons are considered, yes?
Are you suggesting that it is ok for other countries but not ours?
Per out Constitution, the government should do the following, several which imply a strong border.
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity..."
Isn’t the point of Congress to represent the People of the United States and not foreign nationals who have come into our country illegally.
In fact doesn’t allowing foreign nationals to be represented in our Congress invite foreign interference in our Nation? Who exactly do out represent? The fact that i need to ask the question indicates it id not the Citizens….
Are you suggesting that after about 3000 years they shouod stop?
The archaeological record goes back at least 3,000 years, thanks to one of the strangest preservation methods nature ever devised: peat bogs. The best-known example is the Elling Woman, recovered from a Danish bog near Silkeborg. She died around 280 BC, and her hair survived in an elaborate, beautifully executed three-strand braid woven up into a style with seven hairpins holding the knot — styling intact after roughly 2,300 years. Danish bogs have yielded several such remains showing complex braided and knotted arrangements from the Iron Age.
Think?
I know it did. Beyond a shadow of a doubt.
As a young kid standing in my back yard, I saw Apollo 11 take off as soon as it cleared the tower. I saw the stage separation.
I saw the first step taken on the Moon when it was shown live on TV.
I now can see the artifacts they left on the Moon in pictures from probes now in lunar orbitand put there by other countries.
I have seen the capsule at the Air & Space Museum in Washington, DC
I have touched the Moon as you can touch a Moon rock on display at the Museum.
Lunar Laser Ranging Retroreflectors left by the Apollo Moon Landings are still operating. Look it up and see the data currently being obtained.
Personally, I believe that it is an insult to all those who made the Moon landings happen to have their accomplishments doubted. Some gave their lives for that accomplishment. Many risked their lives.
Today we benefit from technology developed for the space program. I am pretty sure that we would not have mobile phones or have this conversation on X if Apollo 11 had not landed on the Moon.
Ironic isn’t it?
