President Biden's Pardon for Hunter: A Legacy in Question

President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son, Hunter, just before his sentencing on gun and tax charges has sparked a lot of talk. Many people aren't surprised, though, knowing the president's personal struggles with his sons' past. But this move has some wondering if it's a good idea. Some say it sets a bad example for future presidents. They worry that it could be seen as playing favorites. And it's not just any person, it's the president's son. Governor Jared Polis of Colorado said, "No one is above the law, not even the president's son. " Biden had said before that he wouldn't pardon Hunter. But now, he's changed his mind. His supporters think it's okay because he's standing by his family. But others think it's not right. The president is dealing with a lot right now. He lost the election to Donald Trump, who is planning to undo many of Biden's achievements. And now, Trump has something new to use against Biden. Some people are upset because they think Biden is saying that his son is above the law. This is something they've been saying about Trump for a long time. Other presidents have pardoned family members before. But Biden had said he would respect the law and the justice system. Now, people are questioning if he really means that. The pardon came right after Thanksgiving, when Biden spent time with his family. He said he thinks the prosecution of his son was unfair. But many people disagree. The pardon is unusual because it came before Hunter was even sentenced. It also covers a wide range of time, from 2014 onwards. This could make it hard for the next Justice Department to investigate Hunter's past business deals. Biden asked people to understand his decision as a father. But many are still debating if this was the right thing to do.
