The New Anti-Trump Constitutional Amendment
Let’s put some restrictions on that pardon power
Ever wonder what’s gonna happen after Trump is gone? Gone from office. Gone from life. However he leaves us.
He may still be polluting the Oval Office and making enemies out of allies, but the work of erasing the stain of his presidency has already begun.
Democrats have introduced a constitutional amendment … yeah, it’s that serious that they want to amend the constitution to make sure that no wannabe Trump ever does this again … to rein in the presidential pardon power and to nullify pardons that are “issued for a corrupt purpose.”
Nullify pardons. I like that one. I hope it’s retroactive so that they can go back and unpardon the Jan 6 insurrectionists as well as all the people who “paid to play” and literally paid off Trump in exchange for a pardon for whatever shit they had done.
They’re calling it “The Pardon Integrity Act.” Yup, definitely an anti-Trump move. Trump and integrity are mutually exclusive.
Here’s how they want to limit the president’s pardon power. He or she will no longer be able to pardon:
· Himself or herself
· Family and spouses of family
