A quick definition of commit:

Term: COMMIT

Definition: When someone does something wrong, like breaking the law, we say they have committed a crime. This means they did something bad and they are responsible for it. Sometimes, if someone does something really bad, a judge might decide to send them to prison or a hospital. This is called committing them. In a special kind of meeting called Parliament, when someone wants to talk about a topic, they can ask to refer it. This means they want to talk about it more later.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To do something wrong or illegal, such as committing a crime. It can also mean to send someone to jail or a mental health facility by court order. In parliamentary law, it means to refer a matter to a committee for further consideration.

  • He was arrested for committing a robbery.
  • The judge committed the defendant to prison for 10 years.
  • The committee decided to commit the bill to a subcommittee for further review.

The first example shows how "commit" can be used to describe doing something illegal. The second example shows how it can be used to describe sending someone to jail. The third example shows how it can be used in parliamentary law to refer a matter to a committee for further consideration.

Glad you're back dk lmao. If you read the actual article, it's that his day one EO's are wildly unpopular (for instance the majority of americans support birthright citizenship). He can have won the popular vote and still do unpopular stuff

"Two recent polls found opposition to pardoning the J6ers at 57 and 59 percent, respectively, and that was before Americans understood that even the cop-beaters in the crowd that day would be let off scot-free."
