Chapter 1881 Amnesty and Magneto (Please vote for me!!! Please subscribe!!! Please recommend!!)

When you want to achieve a goal, you always have to pay something. For example, if Kai wants to fish Max out, he must pay something. But the problem is that Kay doesn't think highly of Marx, so he is naturally unlikely to pay a high price.

So who should pay the price for Marx not being thrown into the laboratory?

The answer is himself!

He needs to pay the due price for what he has done. Of course, if he wants better conditions, he must pay more, such as Wanda and Pietro!

But this proposal was rejected by Kay and Marx.

Kay did not meet Marx directly but spoke to him on the phone. Kai directly told him how to go next, and what he should give and what he could give. Wanda and Pietro were the ‘price’ offered by Kai.

"No! Don't involve them! They are living a good life now, and they should not be involved in these things."

Marx shouted into the phone very decisively.

"Then you have to work for the government for the rest of your life and never betray, otherwise I will clean up the house, and Wanda and Pietro will also have to pay the price!" Kai said coldly, a true villain.

Max was frightened...but he quickly recovered his mood: "I am willing to accept everything, including walking on the test stand!"

It was absolutely impossible for Marx in the past to accept such an outcome, even death!

When people have no worries, they are really not afraid of anything, but once they have worries, they will become very...how can I put it, very philistine and timid, and become easy to accept reality and humiliation!

Because they no longer live for themselves.

This is the case with Marx. He cannot accept that his children will lose everything they have because of him.

In the past few days, Wanda and Pietro came to see him every day. Pietro was a little silent, but every time Wanda came, she burst into tears. She felt the same for everything her father had experienced over the years. She knew what happened to her father. What happened to her father? What's more terrible is that these experiences were presented to her in an extremely subjective way with all kinds of violent emotions.

Pietro knew intermittently from his sister what had happened to his father over the years. Although he was also distressed, he was not as sympathetic as Wanda.

So he never knew how to deal with this father who suddenly appeared.

Marx was very satisfied. Even if Pietro was a little alienated from him, Marx was still very satisfied. At least her daughter was very, very close to her.

To be honest, this was something he didn't expect at first.

He originally thought that the two brothers and sisters would only treat him like strangers. But... I didn't expect that Wanda would be so close to me. This gave Marx the so-called satisfaction before. Even if he were to die now, he would not feel regret.

He got along with his children and learned about some of the experiences of the two brothers and sisters. Regarding their previous encounters, the two brothers and sisters only briefly talked about it without going into details, but even so, Marx was still heartbroken. The two siblings talked more about their lives in the United States.

They live a free life. Pietro has his own food delivery business. Marx is very supportive and doesn't think there is anything wrong with the delivery boy. He felt that as long as Pietro was happy and could support himself, there would be nothing better than this.

Wanda is studying. Wanda actually likes reading. She is determined to get into college. Because she had wanted to go to college a long time ago, a childhood wish. However, the civil war and the death of his parents made this dream out of reach for a time. But after coming to the United States, I found that... there was a chance to realize it.

Otherwise, she, an eighteen-year-old girl, would not specifically seek tutoring from a child under ten years old.

The children all have their own goals and work hard to achieve them, which makes Marx, a father, both sad and gratified.

It's sad because he didn't create good conditions for his children like ordinary parents.

He didn’t even save them for college!

Don’t think that Americans have to pay for college fees themselves (referring to loans). In fact, there are still many families who save their own college tuition fees. Reports show that there are a significant number of families in the United States where parents and children are equally responsible for paying for college tuition. Scholarships/grants from various sources cover 35% of the total tuition, 23% relies on parental support, 19% and 11% of students apply for loans and work income.

No way, American universities are really expensive! One school year is sometimes higher than a family’s annual income! But there are still many middle-class families who start saving for their children when they are very young to pay for their college expenses in the future. This money may not cover all tuition fees, but it is still a large amount of support.

Having said that, Marx is now in jail, so of course there is no need to think about his assets.

He didn't have this concept at first.

What's more important is that he has no sense of participation in the child's life!

This is what Marx really cared about.

Therefore, Marx said the above words without hesitation. He has no contribution to make, so he can't drag them down!

"Very good, Max. Someone will contact you soon." After thinking about it, Kai decided to tell the truth: "What you just said saved you. If you betrayed Wanda and Pietro without hesitation, I will immediately send you to a secret base where no ghost can be found, and let them use you as vivisection material. However, it is now proven that Wanda and Pietro at least. You didn't save the wrong person. Don't worry, you don't need to be afraid of being used as a guinea pig. They are a mutant combat team organized by the government. You just need to use your abilities to help the government deal with some supernatural incidents. You have regular treatment. There are social security and medical insurance, and even retirement pay and paid leave. You don’t have to worry about never seeing Wanda and Pietro again.”

Max opened his eyes wide and was ecstatic.

What is the end of the universe?

It’s preparation!

If you work for the government without a formal establishment, you will naturally be cannon fodder. If something happens, you will be responsible for it. As for honors and credits, naturally you will not have any share. But the official establishment is different.

This thing cannot be treated casually. The union strength of U.S. government employees is quite strong.

Having a system means that his own rights and interests will be protected!

Of course, the most important thing is that you don’t need to be permanently separated from your children.

…

"Well, it's him."

After Joe and the X-Team signed a bunch of documents, they finally met Max.

A group of people looked at a little old man chained by a huge metal collar, a little disappointed.

They also wanted to have a strong companion, and only Ghost John in their team was a middle-aged man. The others were all young people, even teenagers, so they defaulted to a young man in the beginning.

Is this the result?

"Don't underestimate him." Old Qiao chuckled: "He almost destroyed the entire New York! He is better than you all!"

Now no one can underestimate them.

"You know, in order to get him, the White House even signed an amnesty order."

Amnesty is not uncommon in the United States. It is a power granted to the president by the U.S. Constitution. Historically, U.S. presidents have often exercised this power to ease conflicts and conflicts within the United States. Of course, there may be personal interests of the president involved, but many times, the president will exercise his power of pardon under forced circumstances. Because during his term in office, the president has to compete with various interest groups, and the president himself may even be the spokesperson of the interest groups. Even if the president does not want to bear the infamy, he has to endure it in order to prevent retaliation from the interest groups.

Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution of the United States provides: The President, being Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of such militia as shall be called upon to perform the duties of the United States, may call upon the officers in charge of each executive department to submit any question concerning their duties. In addition to impeachment and robbery cases, he has the power to grant suspended sentences and pardons to those who violate the laws of the United States.

That is to say, except for himself, he can pardon any criminal, no matter how serious the crime the criminal committed!

And this thing is extremely widespread.

For example, a certain president whose zipper was not done properly signed 141 pardons in one day. This guy signed a total of 141 pardons on the last day of his term as president. These "midnight pardons" include wealthy individuals, those involved in drug trafficking, tax evaders, and his brother who was arrested for drunk driving. Chicago millionaire Mark Rich has been wanted by the authorities for 17 years for setting the highest tax evasion record in U.S. history. He was charged with 51 counts and could be sentenced to 325 years in prison. In 2000, Clinton hurriedly signed a pardon for Ridge before leaving office. American media broke the news that Lian Zong had accepted a large amount of political donations from Rich's ex-wife during his tenure, so he decided to help his old friend out of trouble before stepping down. The amnesty case triggered shock in public opinion and anger among the judiciary.

Many years later, Meilianzong said he "regrets" his original decision. As for whether it is true, no one knows.

Some people find it strange that Americans respect the law, but why should they give the president the power of pardon? Isn’t this about giving favors outside the law? In fact, as long as it is a sovereign country in the modern sense, whether it is a monarchy or a republic, there are "amnesty powers". Some are controlled by the parliament of the sovereign country, and some are controlled by the leaders of the sovereign country. The power of pardon in the United States is not controlled by Congress, but is firmly in the hands of the president. The wealth and lives of many people depend on the hands of the president. This is no joke. This is also a reflection of the president's personal authority. If the power of amnesty in the United States is in the hands of Congress, then Congress may dilute the authority of the president, because those interest groups will invest more resources to bribe Congress instead of the president. In this way, the president will suffer in the political game. After all, American politics is a power game for the rich and a money game for the powerful. If the president loses an opportunity to gain benefits, this position will also lose some meaning. . For example, the president will use the power of pardon to suppress those interest groups. Since interest groups in the United States often oppose the federal government, if the president has this power of pardon, many members of the interest groups may go to please the president.

As mentioned just now, the president wants to compete with interest groups. Since he wants to compete, he must use both suppression and suppression. If the president refuses to exercise the power of pardon under any circumstances, then this power may lose its meaning or even be withdrawn. Therefore, the president must exercise the power of pardon selectively and cannot not exercise it completely. At least he can win over some interest groups during his term in office in exchange for a peaceful life after leaving office. In American politics, this is actually an exchange of interests. Americans have long been familiar with this and are well versed in it. This amnesty power can also alleviate social contradictions and conflicts at critical moments and save the overall situation. For example, in 1974, Nixon resigned due to the "Watergate Incident". Since a lot of evidence had been established, this caused unrest in American society. At that time, President Ford decisively exercised his power of pardon and pardoned Nixon from all criminal liability, allowing Nixon to successfully "escape" and step down safely. Why would Ford do this? Of course it's for the sake of the overall situation. Americans have focused too much attention on the president. They asked Nixon to go to jail. But Nixon is the president of the United States. To try the president of the United States is a time-consuming and labor-intensive project that consumes a lot of social resources. If this matter is allowed to ferment, American society will not only be torn apart, but the United States may also miss many opportunities in the "Cold War" between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Therefore, Ford pardoned Nixon, and American society quickly calmed down. The U.S. government immediately turned its attention to the "Cold War" and avoided many mistakes. Americans have also made a calculation. If many things are delayed because of Nixon, everyone's interests will be affected, and the United States may even lose the "Cold War." In this way, it would be even more uneconomical to try Nixon, because the wealth of Americans today is obtained by squeezing and plundering all over the world through hegemony.

In addition, this right of amnesty can also avoid certain mistakes and even encourage some capable people to correct mistakes. For example, in American society, public opinion often hijacks the law, resulting in the inability to effectively implement federal laws and ultimately leading to unjust, false and wrongful convictions. In this case, the US president can use the power of pardon to correct the mistakes caused by populism. Another situation is when the implementation of federal laws violates the basic national conditions of the United States, or the cost of implementation is too high. If someone violates such laws, the President of the United States can still use the power of pardon to correct the mistake. Sometimes, because the U.S. government is too rigidly adherent to federal laws, it does things in a rigid and conservative manner and does not know how to adapt. This will give criminals an opportunity to take advantage of it. Those criminals will try their best to find loopholes in the law, but what they do will lead to a systemic crisis.

In this case, some capable people will be forced to stop the criminal behavior of these criminals at the cost of violating federal law. They violated federal law, but they saved the public interest, and the American people will support these "righteous acts." At this time, the president can exercise the power of pardon to exempt these people from legal responsibility. This can not only take care of public opinion, but also encourage more capable people to punish those criminals.

This was also the external reason for pardoning Marx.

Of course, for now, this thing will be sealed and will not be unsealed until decades later.

At that time, it depends on what the authorities think. If they think there is no problem, they can unblock it. If they don’t want to expose it, they can continue to seal it.

"Okay then, let's meet our new colleagues."

Lao Qiao waved to the police outside, and the police opened the door.

Then he took off the collar.

Marx felt his strength return for a moment. Looking at the nervous policeman, Marx smiled: "Don't worry, I won't attack people casually."

Joe walked over first: "Hello, I'm Joe. Special envoy of the White House. You need to sign a bunch of documents with me to ensure that the pardon from the White House will not be wasted."

"Of course!" Max was in an extremely good mood. Naturally, I won't resist this kind of thing.

"By the way, you're going to join Team X soon, and you need a codename. What do you want to be called? Maybe go out and think about it later."

"No need! I've already thought about it. My name is Magneto!"
