Then the vice predident becomes president
The Answer is False.....................
To give less power to the federal government
The correct answer is <span>it was the first time since the new deal that the supreme court limited the power of congress outlined under the commerce clause.
The case in question was regarding possession of a handgun near a school. They declared that the gun free zone act was unconstitutional since it was based on the commerce part of the constitution since Lopez was trying to sell the weapon. He violated the law but it was not related to the commerce clause in any way.</span>
When Gerald Ford issued Proclamation 4311 (the document in which gave Richard Nixon full and unconditional pardon), he was excused from any crimes he may commit against the United States while president. This was controversial because there was nothing stopping Nixon from committing treason against the United States. People believe the law should apply to everybody equally no matter what the standards nor what position/title you hold. The other side of the argument is that because he's the President of the United States and holds all this power, he's "untouchable" in a sense, and/or doesn't deserve to be held by the same law that every other citizen is under.
