How many Americans have to die as a direct result of a decision of the president before he is held responsible?
If the president makes a decision that starts killing Americans and he is made aware of the negative outcome of the decision, should he continue to enforce his wrong decision causing more Americans to unnecessarily die, should he resign, be impeached, or be tried in court on criminal charges?
I have two examples. First, “Politico: U.S. Drug Overdose Deaths Surpass 107,000 last year, another record.” This article points out that according to the CDC, Fentanyl is 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. The average amount of fentanyl seized from 2018 through 2020 was 321 pounds a month. Through the first nine months of this year, the monthly average is 830 pounds. In the fiscal year 2021, U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized 10,586 pounds of fentanyl at the southern border, more than double the amount taken in FY 2020.
