The Founding Fathers would have been disgusted by President Donald Trump's serial abuse of the pardon power. Nearly 90% of his pardons to date have gone to friends or politically connected allies -- including corrupt politicians. While the President's pardon power may seem unconstrained by the Constitution, a closer look shows that Trump is violating every principle the framers of the Constitution assumed would be followed by a principled President -- and there's evidence they intended special constraints on a President's pardon power after they'd been impeached. [ link to www.cnn.com (secure)] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79664448 Let's just ignore the fact that this has been the case for every President before him, and countless times worse under Obama... Yeah, CNN, thought so.
