(Reuters) - Former Representative Liz Cheney, who bucked her Republican Party as a strong critic of President-elect Donald Trump and some of his allies, will be one of the 20 people awarded by President Joe Biden on Thursday with the Presidential Citizens Medal, one of the country's highest civilian honors.

The medal is awarded to U.S. citizens who have “performed exemplary deeds of service for their country or their fellow citizens,” the White House said in announcing the recipients.

Can’t pardon them, but can give them medals.

I hope they tarnish fast.

--- "Former Representative Liz Cheney, who bucked her Republican Party as a strong critic of President-elect Donald Trump and some of his allies..."

Nope. Didn't "buck" the Republican Party. Cheney CAMPAIGNED for the Democrat Party.

It was the Wyoming voters who bucked Cheney off the Congressional horse, as the neo-Democrat got only 29% of the primary vote.

Liz is going to need to lawyer up. Maybe she can sell this medal to help pay for her legal fees.

She won't spend one second in jail.

Biden is reportedly considering a pre-emptive pardon to protect her from retribution by the next administration. Trump, who takes office on Jan. 20, said last month he backed a call for the FBI to investigate Cheney over her role leading the congressional probe.

Just trying to get under our skin but no one cares about the Cheneys, but it does show how mad they are to lose Musk, RFK and Tulsi.Any award from Biden is a curse. She deserves it.

There are some deserving recipients of the medal:

Roberto Clemente
Bert Rutan
Dick Rutan
Jeana Yeager
Arnold Beckman (invented the pH meter. funded Shockley Semiconductor Lab, giving rise to Silicon Valley)
Charlton Heston
Edward Teller "Father of the Hydrogen Bomb"
Hank Aaron
Gary Sinise
Billy Mills - U.S. Marine Officer and only North or South American to win an Olympic gold medal in the 10k meter run. (Tokyo 1964)

Giving it to Liz Cheney belittles their contributions. Now the award is just a neck turd.
