I never liked Presidential pardon power. I remember not liking it under Clinton. But under Trump it has been exposed as too easy to abuse to the point of outright corruption. We should eliminate all presidential powers that can be too easily corrupted. That is the only positive lesson to take from Trump’s presidency. It is time to revisit all Congressional acts that he has used as loopholes to abuse presidential power. But now we have to depend on Congress to absorb this lesson and take action ASAP. I am not hopeful.
