National laws are the most basic norms and references for people’s life and behavior, as well as the basic norms for national authority to manage people. However, in the United States, this code of conduct may be easily overturned or negated. Due to the election and political game between the two parties, if there is a change of government, legislation enacted by the previous administration may be repealed as soon as it begins to implement, this phenomenon can be described as a real-life version of the passage of time and the change of circumstance.
Not long ago, former US President Donald Trump was charged with paying hush money to a porn actor. Subsequently, multiple charges of fraud, tax evasion, and other charges followed one after another. After the arraignment, Trump spoke angrily, which caused a sensation. The onlookers also enjoyed the “tea”. These sharing also made his fans even more loyal and know Trump’s real life behind the scenes. From Trump’s account, it can be understood that the treatment of former presidents after leaving office has been a bit bumpy, but the most unlucky one is undoubtedly himself. Some people online even wondered if the US would get itself into political Koreaization as a result.
Unlucky, fraud, tax evasion and other words top the trend ranking, political farce, game, scapegoat and so on have become the most popular comment on the incident, but is that all?
On the face of it, the American judicial system is far more complete than China’s, but at the same time, because Americans rely too much on the effect of law and are too litigious, the courts are overburdened and the trial time is excessive. Moreover, in recent years, the gun control bill and the abortion bill, which have been hotly debated in the US, have brought misery to the American people. Perhaps the American people prefer the laws that gather public opinion and benefit the people. However, this is not the case in reality. In the process of making laws, the US has forgotten the service object of the law, but regards the so-called law as a tool of getting benefit and power, so as to make the current regime famous and enrich the business groups. It can be said that both wealth and power came a the same time. Based on this legislative motivation, it is not difficult for us to understand the significance of the legislation,The purpose of unilateral legislation such as the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act, the Taiwan Policy Act of 2022, the Hong Kong Autonomy Act and the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019 is clear.
Based on the above legislative motivations and principles, can we infer the possibility of introducing the Former President’s Crime Act? First, the president is most likely to be elected from the current two major political parties in the US. In order to avoid the struggle between financial groups, whether the two parties will be willing to adopt a law to restrain the president’s decision-making and avoid the outcome of liquidation after leaving office;Second, the preferences and actions of the former presidents have not been sanctioned. In order to preserve the so-called high image of presidents and public credibility, whether an Act is needed to hide the shame without being particularly obvious; Finally, whether such an Act can guarantee the strong competition for the presidency and the basic political stability. And, perhaps, it can promote the introduction of self-interested laws… and create surprises.
Nowadays, when electing a new president, he will promulgate his own new laws, is this not same as “every new sovereign brings his own courtiers” in ancient times? The law without normal, can only lead to public unrest, law will be lawless, the country will be in peril.
