A small group of people with extraordinary wealth, power and influence threaten US democracy, rights and freedoms, Biden believes.
US President Joe Biden has called for changes to the US Constitution to ensure that US presidents cannot escape accountability for crimes committed while in office. This was announced on Wednesday, January 15, at a farewell to the country. The broadcast took place on YouTube.
“We need to amend the Constitution to make it clear that no president, no president, is immune from accountability while in office. The power of the president is not unlimited, And it shouldn’t be.” .
He also said that today an oligarchy is emerging in America, possessing enormous wealth, power and influence, “literally threatening our entire democracy.”
“Power in the United States is becoming concentrated in the hands of a very few very wealthy people, a dangerous trend,” warned President Joe Biden.
The President said that the potential growth of the technological-industrial complex is causing concern.
“We must reform the tax code, not by giving billionaires the biggest tax breaks, but by forcing them to start paying their fair share,” Biden continued.
He called for control over “dark money” spent on the hidden financing of election campaigns.
Biden also expressed concern about the rapid spread of misinformation, the lack of fact-checking on social media and the “collapse of the free press.”
“The American people are literally being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation, which allows abuse of power,” Biden said.
Remember that last summer, the Supreme Court, in the Trump case, ruled that presidents have absolute immunity for acts within the essential functions of their office and are presumably immune from all other official task. The court did not decide what constituted an official action, leaving it to the discretion of the lower court.
Donald Trump will be the next President of the United States and will be inaugurated on Monday, January 20. His fortune reached $7 billion at the end of last year.
One of Trump’s major donors and most visible fans is billionaire Elon Musk, who has long remained the world’s richest man with a fortune of $450 billion.
More than a hundred orders have been prepared for US President-elect Donald Trump’s signature since his first day in the White House. They will consider border security, deportations and several other political priorities.
As you know, on November 13, Trump announced that Musk and Ramaswami will head the new Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE), which, despite its name, is not a government agency.
