2. Can it be made to apply to Trump only, and no one else?
If YES to 1 and NO to 2, does that mean Nixon and Clinton, how were both 'naughty' in office, are forgiven?
Does it mean any current or future President can:
a. Make a hit list of people he'd like to have assassinated.
b. Cancel all future elections and declare himself President for life?
c. Start a genocidal war somewhere?
d. Stand on 5th street and shoot someone, just for fun?
e. Cancel the constitution and ban all firearms?
f. Cancel the Supreme court and electoral college?
And the big question - how stupid is the Supreme Court?
Basically though, it's a blatant attempt to excuse Trump from his many court cases.
