US President Joe Biden has called for changes to the Constitution to ensure that presidents are held accountable for crimes committed while in office. According to Biden, the power of the president should not be absolute, and the current system should be reformed.
"We need to amend the Constitution to make it clear: no president, no president is immune from liability while in office. The power of the president is not unlimited. And this should not happen," he said.
Biden has also expressed concern about the influence of the oligarchy, which he says is a threat to American democracy. He emphasized that power in the US is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a small group of super-rich individuals, which creates dangerous trends.
The president drew attention to the need to reform the tax code so that billionaires start paying their "fair share" of taxes. He also emphasized the importance of combating "dark money", which is used to covertly finance election campaigns.
Biden paid particular attention to threats arising from the spread of misinformation, the lack of fact-checking on social networks, and a decrease in trust in the free press. "Americans are literally being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and unreliable information, which allows abuse of power," the president emphasized.
In addition, Biden expressed concern about the potential increase in the influence of the technological-industrial complex, which could threaten freedom and equality in society.
