no debería poder ordenar al fiscal general que vaya por ahí procesando a quien el presidente
quiera que sea procesado.
Técnicamente está bajo el poder ejecutivo, pero la norma es que sea independiente.
La idea es que el fiscal general es el abogado del pueblo.
No es el consigliere del presidente.
No puede haber una situación en la que quien esté a cargo del gobierno empiece a usar eso
para ir contra sus enemigos políticos o premiar a sus amigos.
Obama no mencionó al presidente Trump por su nombre, pero hizo un guiño a los críticos que dicen que Trump
ha presionado al fiscal general y al Departamento de Justicia para que inicien investigaciones
contra sus adversarios políticos, incluido el exdirector del FBI James Comey y la fiscal general de Nueva York
Letitia James.
Obama también habló sobre el poder del Presidente como comandante en jefe.
Había toda una serie de normas que estaban en vigor para asegurar que no estuvieras intentando
hacer que ese ejército te fuera leal a ti en lugar de a la Constitución.
Obama también pareció criticar al Presidente por usar el cargo para promover los intereses comerciales
de su familia y sus amigos.
Una buena política que me gustaría que se siguiera es que el Presidente de los Estados Unidos
no debería tener un montón de trabajitos paralelos en los que esas empresas y entidades extranjeras puedan
invertir.
¿Qué parte de eso es solo envidia de que no se te ocurrió vender una zapatilla deportiva?
Porque tus zapatillas habrían volado.
Lo sabes, ¿verdad?
Incluso cuando bromeaba sobre el futuro de Colbert, el ex Presidente pareció lanzar una indirecta.
¿Qué tan tonto crees que es que la gente diga que debería postularme a presidente?
Bueno, ya sabes, el listón ha cambiado.
Eso es cierto.

Original transcript (English)
shouldn't be able to direct the Attorney General to go around prosecuting whoever the President wants prosecuted. Technically it's under the executive branch, but the norm is that it's independent. The idea is that the Attorney General is the people's lawyer. It's not the President's consigliere.
You can't have a situation in which whoever's in charge of the government starts using that to go after their political enemies or reward their friends. Obama did not mention President Trump by name, but he nodded to critics who say Trump has leaned on the role of Attorney General and the Justice Department to pursue investigations into his political adversaries, including former FBI Director James Comey and New York
Attorney General Letitia James. Obama also spoke about the President's power as Commander-in-Chief. There had been a whole series of norms that were in place to ensure that you weren't trying to make that military loyal to you as opposed to the Constitution. Obama also seemed to criticize the President for using the office to advance business interests
for his family and friends. A good policy that I'd like to see followed is that the President of the United States shouldn't have a bunch of side hustles that those companies and foreign entities can invest in. How much of that is just jealous that you didn't think of selling a sneaker?
Because your sneakers would have flown. You know that, right? Even when joking about Colbert's future, the former President appeared to take a jab. How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for President? Well, you know, the bar has changed.
That is true.
