On Thursday, Representative Steve Cohen (D-TN), who has been a loud critic of President Donald Donald Trump, introduced two bills to do away with the Electoral College and prevent presidents from pardoning themselves or their family members.

These people are as unamerican as it gets.

Cohen introduced the constitutional amendments on the first night of the 116th Congress, both insults to Trump.

“Presidents should not pardon themselves, their families, their administration or campaign staff,” Cohen said in a statement. “This constitutional amendment would expressly prohibit this and any future president, from abusing the pardon power.”

The numbskull congressman doesn’t understand that the president has plenary powers of the pardon and any use of it is not an abuse of power.  It’s like listening to children.

A third term of President Jimmy Carter is more likely than for either of the Amendments to pass because Amendments require a two-thirds vote in both chambers of Congress and then they go out to the states and must be ratified by three-fourths of them.  Yes, I know that presidents can only have two terms.  As I said, a third term of Jimmy Carter has a better chance.

Cohen is the loudmouth who once predicted that Donald Trump Jr. and the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner would both be indicted by Robert Mueller, the special counsel appointed by his good buddy Rod Rosenstein to investigate the fake phony fraud Russian collusion delusion nonsense. Of course, he wouldn’t provide any evidence.  None of the Democrats who said the Trump family was guilty of anything ever did.  Hell, Adam Schiff (D-CA) the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee for over two years said daily that he had evidence that Russian collusion happened with the Trump campaign, and he never provided a single piece of his professed evidence.

Last summer President Trump said that he has the right to pardon himself, but that he doesn’t have to do that, because he’s done nothing wrong and has committed no crimes.  The only thing a president cannot pardon themself over is an impeachment.  I believe the president should rethink that logic because things have changed radically since then.  The Democrats made up impeachment articles against him and there’s nothing now to stop them from making up a crime against Trump to go after him once he’s out of office.

“As has been stated by numerous legal scholars, I have the absolute right to PARDON myself, but why would I do that when I have done nothing wrong?” the president wrote in a tweet.

Many Democrats are bringing back the idiotic idea of getting rid of the Electoral College.  They started complaining about it after George W Bush lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College.  Only five presidents have done that: John Quincy Adams, Rutherford B. Hayes, Benjamin Harrison, George W Bush, and Donald J Trump.  Hillary Clinton’s first bill she presented as a US Senator was the eliminate the Electoral College.  Back then, most of the Democrats in Washington still had some common sense and the bill was never taken seriously.  Hillary certainly screeched a lot about it after she won the popular vote against Donald Trump (304-227), but he won the Electoral College.

“In two presidential elections since 2000, including the most recent one in which Hillary Clinton won 2.8 million more votes than her opponent, the winner of the popular vote did not win the election because of the distorting effect of the outdated Electoral College,” Cohen blathered in his statement about the bill he introduced. “Americans expect and deserve the winner of the popular vote to win office.”

Cohen appears to suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome at Level 7, which is the highest known level of the disease.

“More than a century ago, we amended our Constitution to provide for the direct election of US Senators,” he added. “It is past time to directly elect our President and Vice President.”

This clown doesn’t understand that the 17th Amendment which changed how Senators are elected was one of the single most damaging Amendments to our country ever passed.  Prior to the 17th Amendment Senator were elected by state legislatures.  This meant that if a US Senator was voting in ways that were not supportive of his state, the legislature could remove him from office.  The 17th Amendment changed that and senators are now elected by the popular vote of the American voters.  The problem with this is that the change in how senators are elected made it so that senators are no longer loyal to their state, but now are loyal to Washington, DC.  It was the creation of the Swamp.

What Cohen is doing is showboating for his constituents and his Democrat colleagues, but more importantly he is showboating his extreme ignorance of the law and our history.
