The article discusses the controversial use of presidential pardon powers by both Trump and Biden, who, on the same day, exercised this authority in unprecedented ways. The author argues that the constitutional provision granting presidents this unchecked power may have been a significant oversight.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The unchecked presidential power to issue pardons, as illustrated by recent actions from Trump and Biden, raises significant concerns regarding justice and accountability. From a technology perspective, it’s clear that systems benefit from checks and balances to avoid misuse. The same principle should be applied to governance where the lack of oversight can lead to questionable decisions that may undermine public trust.
