Protect democratic norms, halt abuse of executive power

The pursuit of retribution through abuse of executive power sets a dangerous precedent that undermines the rule of law and democratic norms. Such actions are not only illegal but also undermine public trust and faith in our institutions. They send a troubling message to the nation's youth about disregarding principles of ethics and accountability in public service. Rather than seeking vengeance, leaders should lead by example and uphold the highest standards of integrity and impartiality. The cessation of these corrosive practices is imperative to protect the sanctity of our democratic system and instill values of justice and good governance in future generations.
