1.? Should a president be allowed to make law by executive order?

Every authoritarian king and dictator can do so, why not the president?

Checks and balances. The answer is no, although the Executive Branch should not be a puppet or powerless figurehead, either.

2.? Will the next car or truck you buy be an EV?

No. We are towing a travel trailer now, so I needed an affordable and reliable vehicle that can manage that across the country. I also wanted a vehicle that could get itself out?of trouble should?the extreme weather threaten us. We now own a used 6L GMC Sierra 4WD, Last check, it busted out a massive 9MPG!

TBF, I do not know what I will need after the pickup, so maybe? I would need a versatile and reliable vehicle, though...and affordable.

3.? Should direction of violent illegal entrants to the US be regarded as a form of biological warfare - in that they are committing violent crimes at substantially higher rate than the average entrant?

That would be silly. There is already a category for this: terrorism. Illegal immigrants who attack citizens?should be considered combatants and any legal complications encountered by defenders should be evaluated according to whether the aggressor qualifies as a terrorist.

4.? Do you anticipate an improvement in the condition of the US if one of the two major candidates is elected president?

This will improve, that will get worse, life will go on until Armageddon. Subsequent to that?life may or may not?go on. I am hoping there? will be financial improvements in the short term, but that would be a sort of minor bonus to brighten the more portentous major challenges.

5.? Was Julian Aassange unjustly convicted?

I am not sure. It seems like another spectacle. So much publicity when so many actual problems exist.

1.? Should a president be allowed to make law by executive order?
No

2.? Will the next car or truck you buy be an EV?

Never!

3.? Should direction of violent illegal entrants to the US be regarded as a form of biological warfare - in that they are committing violent crimes at substantially higher rate than the average entrant?

In the sense that they are biological organisms committing violent crimes including murder - they are no different from people carrying Ebola virus - merely a matter of scale

4.? Do you anticipate an improvement in the condition of the US is one of the two major candidates is elected president?

Hopefully if Trump is elected - no way if Biden is reelected.? The outlier is that neither will get a majority in the electoral college in which case a third candidate can be elected.

As an aside - what is the absolute minimum number of votes to elect a president - there are two possibilities depending on exactly how you want to read the rules

5.? Was Juian Aassange unjustly convicted?

Emphatically yes - he did nothing more than expose the dealings of the shadow government to view.

1.? Should a president be allowed to make law by executive order?

That's not what an executive order does. Executive orders direct a federal official or administrative agency to engage in a course of action or refrain from a course of action.

2.? Will the next car or truck you buy be an EV?

It depends on the overall performance and safely feature of the vehicle.

3.? Should direction of violent illegal entrants to the US be regarded as a form of biological warfare - in that they are committing violent crimes at substantially higher rate than the average entrant?

This looks like a statement disguised as a question. It makes no sense. What is the actual question?

4.? Do you anticipate an imlrovement in the condition of the US is one of the two major candidates is elected president?

If Biden is re-elected I expect continued improvement in the condition of the U.S. (which is already in pretty good condition - better than the rest of the world).

5.? Was Juian Aassange unjustly convicted?

Not in any way.

1.? Should a president be allowed to make law by executive order?

No. And my understanding is, they can’t. They can only set regulations for existing government organizations?
But that may have changed after the July 1^st Supreme Court ruling, which pretty much makes the president a dictator.

2.? Will the next car or truck you buy be an EV?

Not sure. I currently have 4 vehicles, 1 my son in another city is using, but he will be returning it at some point when he buys his own vehicle (which he does plan to be EV.) Between these 4 vehicles, I plan to run them as long as they will run, so I don’t expect to buy another car for many, many years. Given how fast things change, if I don’t buy a car for the next 10 – 20 years, I can’t predict what vehicles will be like at that time. Hopefully flying!

3.? Should direction of violent illegal entrants to the US be regarded as a form of biological warfare - in that they are committing violent crimes at substantially higher rate than the average entrant?

No. 1^st, illegal immigrants commit violent crimes at a lower rate than legal immigrants. Where did you get the idea that they were committing more violent crimes? It should be noted that natural born citizens commit violent crimes at far higher rates then either legal or illegal immigrants.
But even treating your question as a hypothetical and what if they were….biological warfare maybe a violent crime, but not all violent crime is biological warfare. So my answer would be no, that would make no definitional sense what you propose.

4.? Do you anticipate an imlrovement in the condition of the US is one of the two major candidates is elected president?

I think it Biden is elected, the US will continue as is, which is pretty good by almost any metric that can be looked at.
If Trump is elected president, I expect he will crown himself dictator on day 1, just as he has promised, and just as the Supreme Court has now ruled a president essentially can.

5.? Was Juian Aassange unjustly convicted?

Honestly, I’m not a lawyer and not familiar enough with the actual laws to say. I think his actions were public and he certainly did them, but did those actions meet the criteria for the laws he was convicted and/or pled guilty to? I really don’t know.

1.? What was the most significant executive order ever issued by a president of the US?

My first thought was, I have no idea. But answering a week late, I got to read other’s responses, all of which were worthy contenders. I will go with FDA’s interment of US citizens of Japanese heritage. I know about that horrific stamping on of constitutional rights, but I had no idea it was done by presidential executive order, I guess I always assumed Congress had passed a law to do that.

2.? Will Joe Biden drop out of the race for reelection?

I don’t think Biden will drop out. Whether he should or shouldn’t I’m undecided on. But I think the Democrat Party has already invested in Biden being the next candidate, and I think they will go forward with that plan.

3.? Are moral codes universal?

Hmmm. I think ethical principles are universal. I would consider ethical principles different from moral codes, but I suspect many people would treat them the same, and I don’t want to be a language police. So I’ll just say,regardless of what they are called, maybe a general term like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—these principles are universal. But how people put them into practice or code (either by formal law or social pressure) that is definitely not universal.

4.?Do you expect social unrest after the US election in November?

If Biden wins, I expect Trump will falsely accuse him of cheating and rile up his supporters to cause social unrest.
If Trump wins, I don’t think Biden supporters will immediately cause social unrest. But once Trump starts acting like a dictator as he has promised, then I expect people being hurt by Trump’s edicts will cause social unrest (and probably many of them would be Biden supporters.)

5.? Should 4th of July fireworks be banned for being detrimental to the environment?

?

No, but perhaps better regulated. Do people really need to be putting on professional quality shows in their own backyards?
