Q: Unlike past Presidents who set agendas goals for the 1st 100 days. Trump dated and signed a Contract with voters Breech
Can we voters take Trump to court for breech of Contract with the American Voter?
A: No, of course not. Political and religious speech are of the highest free speech rights. Commercial speech is also protected but to a lesser degree. Fooling you was one of the permissible acts under the first amendment. Your duty was to yourself, your friends and neighbors and the country to not get fooled. You don't have standing to sue.
A:
Great question! This is not a mere free speech issue. And you do indeed have standing to sue. It is indeed a contract once you sign it too in the spot allotted. The question will be whether there was in fact a breach. Look carefully at each promise. He's mainly saying that he'll try to do all the things listed. He says he'll "pursue" each item in the first 100 days. Of course, as president he has other mandates such as national security that override any contractual promises he makes with any individual or entity. A major defense to contract law is whether it violates public policy or is otherwise illegal: that would certainly apply if there are conflicts between the contract and national interests that the President is obliged to uphold.
