Perjury is lying under oath in a court of law. And I can tell you that no matter what negative things are said, the other side would simply declare the oath violated and both would be in court for every ad they run, whether it is accurate or not.

I understand what you are frustrated at, but when you are a public figure, the legal thresholds for libel, slander, and such are much higher than that of a private citizen.

Aren’t there laws to prevent wasting the court’s time? So if a campaign declares the oath violated and comes with no real proof that it was violated, then the judge will render that verdict and eventually people will see that the candidate keeps accusing of lying but not winning. That makes them look worse.

I guess what I want is the run for Presidency to be a legal process...they are making statements to Americans to secure trust ...like a sale...if the statements are proven false,there should be accountability.

If they clean up their rhetoric, what will the media chew on?
