What if Donald pardons himself?

[TLK Valentine]

You've heard it from the man himself:

Donald J. Trump on Twitter

"...I have the absolute right to PARDON myself..."

for now, he claims he won't do it -- but of course, we all have the right to change our minds...

What would you say if he ends up pardoning himself?

Let’s go full banana republic.

What if Obama and Hilary turn themselves in?

If we did not approve of that, we would have not written laws that allow it.
This is not the first president to stir up problems.

What if I put mustard on a sandwich?

I wouldn't eat it, but know others that would, what if I gave it to one of them?

Do the laws allow the President to pardon himself?

If its brown mustard the former president may like it, I know nothing about Sec Clintons taste in food. They would both do well to bring a sandwich with them as the puzzled law enforcement officer tries to work out how why someone with no warrants out for their arrest is turning them selves in.

I look forward to finding out in court, only so long as the president represents himself.

From what I hear, when asked about his tweet, he only replied...

"pardon me?"

There are no clear restrictions against it. Which, as I said, is becasue
the public has allowed the ambiguity to stand, not becasue this is new ground.

I am an Obama and Hillary supporter and I approve.


(of course, after trying to convict Hillary of... something... for the better part of a decade now and coming up with absolutely ziltch, it's only fair that she helps them at this point -- they need all the help they can get.)

For what crime?

So this is what Sec Clinton might look like with brown mustard on her face.

And they call Trump a racist...

For what crime?

Does it matter? According to him, his right to pardon himself is absolute.

Do the laws allow the President to pardon himself?

"The President ... shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment." Const II.1

The clause doesn't seem to exclude pardons for the President.

A pity you couldn't find a real image... but I guess fake smears are better than none.

"except in cases of impeachment..." kind of cooks his goose, doesn't it?

Maybe - if impeachment charges are leveled against him. On the other hand, there are non-impeachment charges that would be pardonable.

The lib media would know much about fake, they embody it.
