Re: Should presidential campaign promises be enforceable?
Technically speaking, promises are not contracts. Consideration ( or something of value ) has to be exchanged for a contract, verbal or written, to be enforceable. Also verbal contracts have specific rules. Generally, a contract that extends for a period of over a year, must be in writing to be enforceable.
Comments based on 2 semesters of contract law that I took about 20 years ago.
