Unfortunately, until that part of the Constitution is amended, we are stuck with it. Trump is acting like a bully in high school. He has no concept of adherence to the rule book (the Constitution). So then the rule book (the Constitution) gets updated. That harms those who really do adhere to the rule book (the Constitution) in years to come. The rest of his administration act like the "mean girls / boys" around him. (Ok, I know that this is long-winded, but it's true. Please keep reading.)
The similarities are too striking to be missed. Maybe the entire Trump administration should see the principal. Us.
We have the power to boot him and his ilk out of office. We have the power to ratify our part in changing the Constitution - IF Congress and the Senate as a whole get off their butts and do their jobs. At end of the day, we know everyone's track record. If they keep getting voted back into office, and they are incompetent, that is on us. You would think that the people that the nation chooses to represent them would be the best.
If those in power are the best, we should be ashamed. On the other hand, if some of the best are not in government due to Citizens United, the need to raise an extremely huge amount of money just to run, and the the rug is pulling out from underneath us by those who buy campaigns, I say do something about it. But it is those who are incompetent at their jobs that want to continue this system.
We should make the entire government a minimum wage job. No work, no pay. Then we should kick Citizens United to the curb. Then we should kick big money to the curb. Then we might get some much needed work done.
We would see the minimum wage sky rocket. The Senate and the Congress would actually do their jobs.
But no matter what reforms are made to the system, if we don't pay attention, vote for competency over personality or loyalty, the we are in the same boat. In trouble.
Why, if trump and his cabinet is "making America great again" and doing all the right things, would he NEED to pardon anyone? Seems as though he and his cronies KNOW what they have done/are doing is not kosher!!!
Maybe Trump is not as senile as most people think. He knows that his people around him are criminals like he is and he knows they’ve committed crimes that we’re not aware of yet. What we are seeing here is something I’m going to call.
PREEMPTIVE PARDONS.
Preemptive pardons make a whole lot of sense for the Trump administration because nearly everybody in the Trump order is a criminal.
Wouldn’t it be nice if preemptive prayer actually worked. I’m gonna give it a try. Dear God, in Jesus name, would you restore the limbs of amputees just to show everybody that you really exist and that you’re not evil like I think you are.
The american federal legal system for me as a european "spectator" seems to rely very heavily on the ethical behaviour and the moral grounds of the acting people.
Most of the insiders know that and they see the problems that might arise from that since a couple of years. But the majority seems to be fine with (or because of) that situation.
Something, that I cannot understand as a foreigner. At least I would expect an established, ongoing public discourse about what still might be acceptable or what clearly is over the top. But nobody seems to be interested...
I'm more concerned about surviving this regime than worried about whether a future president might abuse pardons. How much more abuse can we withstand?
They want all the power, and zero responsibility.
This will not fly.
Is he planning to leave power soon?
The not so supreme court has created a monster!
That's why I call them the Scrotum Court. Should be Sweaty Scrotum Court.
That pardon doesn't cover being prosecuted by a state (state crimes).😁
Would the pardons stand up against Article II Section IV of the Constitution?
Don’t forget, trump doesn’t believe in, or follow the Constitution.
Stating the obvious, this is what happens when someone is placed in the highest office that has ZERO concept of accountability.

"Strongly worded" position - with a not so strong effect...
Karma will find them, all of them. There will be no hole too deep for them to hide in, that the consequences of their deeds will not catch up to them.

I’d vote for the Big Guy curing cancer first. As a side effect that would cure a lot of amputees too.

1. Pam Bondi will be disbarred
2. Todd Blanche will be disbarred
3. Pete Hegseth will face Internation trial at the Hague
4. The President may eventually face an International Trial and will be labelled an International War criminal
5. Snoozie Viles will undergo cancer treatment
6. Harmeet Dhillon will face disbarment
7. Creatures like Patel, Miller will likely be 'confronted in public'; that is all I will say which is my First Amendment right

But be assured: We will never return to those "good old days" - probably...
Imagine if Al Capone could pardon himself and his gang. What would follow? Probably the US would be a Dictatorship now. (Already).
The pardon system should be abandoned, except for (all) turkeys.
That criminal sonofabitch needs to have a fatal heart attack RIGHT NOW!
