-
- What about leaving the pardon power in but amending it to:
- 1. allow a pardon only after a criminal conviction is obtained?
- 2. forbid a pardon of anyone prosecuted/convicted by an Independent Counsel?
- 3. forbid all pardons in the twelve months after a Presidential election?
- 4. forbid all pardons of those whose offenses are impeachable?
- 5. require a national referendum to confirm each pardon?
- 6. forbid even the *idea* of the self-pardon?
- As you can imagine, there are arguments for and against each of these checks.

-
- Yes, we say that now.

- But what will we say to the next nigger-bashing, woman-hating, flag-waving,
- allegiance-pledging, liberal-baiting fascist thug who comes along with
- promises of zero regulation, no new taxes, lower deficits, government-free

- morning in America, great golf weather, and a lifetime supply of missionary
- orgasms?
-
- What will we say then?

-
- Dhanesh
-
- We should have impeached the bastards when we had the chance.
