02 X 244 The Blind Perspective 29: Are Presidents Above the Law
No one is above the law, and Teddy Roosevelt famously said, \u201cNo man [should\nbe] above the law and no man [should be] below it; nor do we ask any man\u2019s permission when we ask him to obey it.\u201d To categorically say otherwise is to\nundermine the foundation of American democracy.\u201d\n\nBut according to the laws in the United States, United States presidents cannot be held accountable for what they do in office, regardless of what they do, but once they leave office, any crimes committed by that president are fair game. And yet, some people don\u2019t think we should. In fact, some people in the United States believe we concentrate too much on past presidents, yet others believe that to completely absolve the presidents of any wrong doing, means a complete contradiction to what America was first founded on, the principles that no one is above the law, king or otherwise. So one has to wonder\u2026who is right?\n\nAre there some who are above the law?\n\nJoin our panel, on Saturday, 4:00 pm (EST), 1:00 pm (PST), 9:00 pm (GMT), as they discuss topical news items of importance from a blind perspective.\n\nThe Blind Perspective is an interactive show, allowing for the participation of the audience.
