Oops. I forgot to mention this stuff.
It's an MSNBC vid
After convincing President Biden to pardon his son Hunter, South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn is now calling for clemency for Donald Trump. "If we keep digging at things in the past, I'm not too sure the country will not lose its way," Clyburn tells MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart.
Can Trump pardon himself once he becomes president? (Honest question, IDK how the details of
politics work)
As far as anyone knows, it's an Air Bud rule situation
I'd fully expect it to go to the Supreme Court and be ruled constitutional 5-4 with Roberts dissenting to "preserve his legacy" or whatever knowing full well Thomas+Alito+Gorsuch+Kavanaugh+Conehead are 100% rubber stamping a "the president(R) can do whatever" decision
Don't you need to be personally harmed to bring a suit? Who's personally harmed by Trump writing himself a pardon? The prosecutor's ego?
It is of course a stupid and useless action since clearly being a crime guy didn't stop him from assuming the presidency, and pardoning himself will just get the hogs baying in approval, so idk
It would be litigated when/if a prosecutor tried to bring charges against Trump for conduct that was self-pardoned
