During a recent press conference, President Biden was asked about polling that shows 70% of Americans believe he acted illegally or unethically in regard to his family’s business interests. "That’s just a bunch of lies," he snapped.
This falls far short of the American people’s expectation that the president of the United States protect the public trust and restore faith in our public institutions. After all, the Constitution vests the president with power to implement our laws and to appoint people to the highest positions of power within our government.
But with so much responsibility, it’s necessary for those holding the office to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct.
