Official act would be complying with the Judge…but potatoe, patatoe…or whatever.
And yes, I spelled potatoe wrong both times on purpose.
Did you misspell it the third time on purpose?
Yes. Why not.
Just asking because you only specified the first two. Thanks for clarifying.
SCOTUS ruled that a president cannot be criminally charged for any “official acts” taken while in office.
Contempt is a civil charge no? So can’t they still throw him in a cell?
Did that ruling not also leave it up to the courts to determine what constitutes an official act?
