Wll clinton face criminal charges like any other america?
Probably. Or Trump might decide to pardon her, and perhaps initiate a mass pardon of everyone who has been prosecuted for political reasons. Since Trump has no record in public office, what he does would be unpredictable.
sparkly will be happy:)

how many prisoners has obama freed illegaly recently? (before its too late & his time is up) how many has hillary freed ilegally? more then you know & all freed behind the media scenes.
The president can pardon anyone for anything except Treason. New leaders traditionally, but not in the US, start off be giving mass pardons or amnesties in order to win over those who were upset with the previous regime. Given that the US has a high percentage of people in prison than almost any other country, that might be something he’ll consider.
Note that accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt, meaning it is political suicide to accept a pardon.
can a president go against law and just padron criminals?
The power of pardon for federal crimes is within the President’s power, completely at his/her discretion and is not subject to review. In other words, if the President pardons anyone of a federal crime, it is not against the law.

She’s finishing the sentence “when trump wins sparkly will be happy”
I’m turning 18 in two weeks and i decided between the two choices I ain’t registering
absan – trump is awesome! im jewish!
Happygirlygirl – i am a democrat. voted for sanders because i wanted him to go up against trump and trump would have a MUCH easier time winning since everyone hates sanders including me. if i were a republican the first time i would have voted for cruz or trump. there both awesome.
Happygirlygirl,
President shouldn’t be the only reason to vote
If you don’t want to vote for president you can still vote for all the other elections that will be happening then
Additionally you can write in a name of someone that you think should be president (sparkly, absan, coffee addict;))
coffee addict – haha. its true tho. maybe ill become a lawyer and then a judge and then senator and so on and work myself up to being the first religious jewish women president!!
i decided between the two choices I ain’t registering
Register.
Even if you hate both candidates running for President, there are state and local races that have to be decided and, in the long run, it’s far more important to vote in these races than in the Presidential election.
No one notices at the national level if Orthodox Jews vote, but politicians at the state and local level *do* take note of it.
So register, simply don’t choose a candidate for President (leave it blank, write in Mickey Mouse or your own name) and vote for the state and local races.

WolfishMusings – vote for johnson thats what a LOT of people are doing if they dont want to vote.
WolfishMusings – vote for johnson thats what a LOT of people are doing if they dont want to vote.
Whatever. Like I said, the Presidential election is pretty much a foregone conclusion (unless you live in a swing state). So vote for Johnson, vote for yourself, whatever… but make sure that you *do* vote in state and local elections. *That’s* far more important.

WolfishMusings – will do h’h.
What is h”h?
YW Moderator-29 – everyone asks that but can figure it out on their own. its imertza Hashem.
Than what is the first h for?
Ywn29 hashems help? Idk
And maybe I’ll register I don’t even know I like trump as a show host but I honestly don’t know…..and I guess I would put ywn29 as president for reasons I can’t say
🙂
@Happygirlgirl: Happy early birthday. I too just turned 18, but I doubt I’m voting. Seems like shlep to vote from overseas. 😛
Well at least confirms that I’m not the youngest of the CR family, I always though I was. I guess that position goes to you. I’ll have to suffice being just the president of SUC.
YW Moderator-29 – i dont know. it just is.
Happygirlygirl – vote for trump:)
Sparkly maybe we could change it to imy”h and if I would vote it would be for trump does anyone else think Hillary resembles a cabbage patch doll?
How many mods are there btw
Happygirlygirl – im voting for trump because his good for jews.
absan – go trump:) i will be voting for him h’h. cant wait.
Shopping: It’s easy to vote from overseas. File for an absentee ballot. They’ll mail it to you and you can vote like any other citizen.
when trump wins i win.
… Nefesh B’Nefesh will have to expand their staff.
Can British people vote?
Geordie613 – if you became a citizen or could be also if you have a green card.
Yehudayon: “Nefesh B’Nefesh will have to expand their staff.”
Yehudayona, I like that response. That should happen either way. Yidden belong in Eretz Yisrael!
and no, I am not a zionist!
how many prisoners has obama freed illegaly recently?
Considering that the president has the power to pardon federal crimes, why do you think his releasing of federal prisoners is illegal?

absan – then im sad:(
absan – i want to have MUCH more to life than just school and work! but chemistry and biology will refuse that! i would be sad if trump loses because i dont want clinton.
The President has unlimited power to pardon or to grant clemency, even for the most serious crimes, so Obama has acted legally. And he acted fairly because he is granting clemency for people convicted of crimes for which the penalty is now much less severe.
Clinton has committed no crime so she will not be tried.
Trump operated an illegal fraudulent university and is facing three trials for fraud and racketeering. He probably can’t be tried criminally because of the statute of limitations. He would be facing two additional trials but he bribed two state Attorneys General with campaign contributions when they dropped investigations into his practices. People claim Clinton is a crook but it is actually Trump who knowingly broke the law.
To Happygirlygirl: So you like Trump as a TV host? What, if anything, does that have to do with being president of the US? Bob Barker was a good TV host, but I would not consider him for president. (Have you, Happygirlygirl, ever heard of Bob Barker? Not that there’s anything wrong if you have not.)
And while you’re at it, try a little punctuation when you write. Hashem did not use punctuation in the Torah, but the rest of us ought to in our daily written lives.
