- The savvy will scoff, but I am completely serious about this. Congressional Dems should introduce a constitutional amendment to limit the pardon power and force votes on it whenever they can. Dem presidential wannabes should endorse the idea. Blue states should signal support.

- As you note, the amend. should also eliminate the presidential criminal immunity created by Trump v. US. Make that the focus. Who supports presidents being able to commit crimes with impunity? To ignore court orders, solicit bribes, jail opponents, etc.? The “No person is above the law” Amendment.
- That is so stupid. Look who Biden pardoned. I dare you.
- If there’s going to be a downfall of Trump and MAGA in 2028 the Democrats must have a whole host of Constitutional amendments ready to reform America’s political system.
- Absolutely
- Pardon reform worthwhile but won’t happen in current environment. Best possible outcome would be reform effective Jan 21 2029 so only limiting future presidents.
