Die Mehrheit der Amerikaner ist der Meinung, dass Donald Trump zu viele Begnadigungen ausspricht und die Macht der Begnadigungen einschränken möchte

I don’t think anyone wants that former Honduras president drug lord guy pardoned.

It’s just another grift just like Trump gold cards will be if enacted.

The whole „future pardon“ shtick has got to go

Presidential pardons should not exist.

And undoubtedly, many want to limit it in 3 years in the event a dem comes into power.

The pardon power in the United States is bonkers. It, by itself, makes the President a king.

“Gives out” suggests that people aren’t making loads of money off them

The GOP creeps will just wait until Democrats win the Presidency to „limit the pardon power so we will never have happen what happen3d with Trump.“ Assholes, one and all.

He pardons corrupt leaders because they resonate with him so much.

Abort the pardon power. Should never have been a thing to begin with. Fuck this shady, backdoor bullshit.

Couldn’t find any articles from him on Biden’s pardons.

Could be wrong, but didn’t Biden issue many as well, and did so prior to Trumps latest pardons. I wonder how much ‘the opening of Pandora’s box’ played into that, not that we will ever know.

I think the biggest change is the timing, usually don’t at the expiration of the term.

In retrospect, we should probably have made some specific call outs about how pardons for bribes should be unlawful. That was always a verb that needed some amount of limitations beyond „Good Ol Boys Gentlemanly Agreements To No Fuckery“

Would it be possible for us to reverse pardons? If we proved bribery or other illicit aspects of a pardon, such that the commission of the pardon was conspiratorial? Would it then be clearly outside of the official duties of the Office of the Presidency? Kind of like the claim that an autopen invalidates a previous official order of a President.

Just some wishful thinking here. Wouldn’t mind seeing all these knobs scooped back up if we did manage to get our Democracy back.

He’s ***selling*** pardons – and if you think he’s going to stop, well I’ve got this gorgeous bridge I can sell you…

A majority of Americans are fuckwits and put us here…

*“… the king of England is invested with… a branch of legislative jurisdiction so far as to pass his negative on all proceedings of the other two branches… This two-fold jurisdiction established in the British monarch being founded on maxims extremely different from those, which prevail in the American States, the writer hereof is inclined to hope that he will not be thought singular, if he conceives an impropriety in assimilating the component parts of the American government to those of the British… let this collateral jurisdiction, which constitutes the royal negative, be held by kings alone, since with kings it first originated…“*

*“In the first place the office of President of the United States appears to me to be clothed with such powers as are dangerous. To be the fountain of all honors in the United States, commander in chief of the army, navy and milita, with the power of making treaties and of granting pardons, and to be vested with an authority to put a negative upon all laws, unless two thirds of both houses shall persist in enacting it, and put their names down upon calling the yeas and nays for that purpose, is in reality to be a KING as much a King as the King of Great-Britain…“*
**—Old Whig (fifth paper, Anti-Federalist papers)**

*“The writer of these essays has clearly proven, that the president is a King to all intents and purposes… he has a negative over the proceedings of both branches of the legislature…“*
**—Philadelphiensis (twelfth paper, Anti-Federalist papers)**

*“The first and most natural division of the powers of government are into the legislative and executive branches. These two should never be suffered to have the least share of each other’s jurisdiction, or to intermeddle with it in any manner. … It is therefore a political error of the greatest magnitude, to allow the executive power a negative, or in fact any kind of control over the proceedings of the legislature.“*

Unless this number is 90ish per cent, I am still disappointed.
