@amychozick @maggieNYT does exec have legal power to suspend patents? I suspect @uspto and holders might have something to say about that.
— Ralph Duquette (@Coach_Ralph) January 5, 2016

Good question. Here’s another:
What about politicians who avoid taxes by creating slush funds disguised as charities? https://t.co/T9XO7haUIy
