King Charles Receives Standing Ovation In Congress While Discussing Government Checks And BalancesKing Charles discussed the importance of holding government officials accountable in an address to Congress on Tuesday.“The U.S. Supreme Court Historical Society has calculated that Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 Supreme Court cases in 1789, not least, as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances,” Charles said while detailing the shared history between Britain and the U.S. His remarks received a standing ovation in the chamber.“It is here, in these very halls, that this spirit of liberty and the promise of America's founders is present in every session and every vote cast, not by the will of one, but by the deliberation of many, representing the living mosaic of the United States in both of our countries,” King Charles added. “It is the very fact of our vibrant, diverse and free societies that gives us our collective strength, including to support victims of some of the ills that so tragically exist in both our societies today.”King Charles did not provide details about the victims or the ills, but it was previously believed that his speech was going to be used to bring up disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, who had a relationship with his brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and President Donald Trump.See All UpdatesClose
