“I have the absolute right to PARDON myself” – Donald Trump, June 4, 2018
Those are the words of a dictator–not something an elected leader of a democratic republic should ever speak.
When the President says something this insane, Congress should have a Constitutional Amendment ready by the afternoon to assert that, no, the President cannot pardon himself.
We should also include that a President cannot pardon persons being investigated, convicted, or sentenced for crimes that resulted in, would have resulted in, or attempted to create a personal benefit for the President involved.
