Or at least harder to use or something. I think it’s a good power for state governors to have, like if a state court hands down a death sentence I think it’s a good thing that governors can commute that if they feel they have a good reason. I think it’s good that, for example, Carter pardoned Vietnam draft resistors.
Pardons should always go before a large committee. The less concentration of power the better. The President can only recommend a pardon while giving sound reasoning why.
No the pardoning power is fine. However the first time he used it inappropriately he should have been impeached. This is a failure of the far right Republican Party.
Pardon power needs to be removed.
Living in a place where this isn’t an option… It seems insane that one person can just override the entire judicial system. Baffling.

Yeah. Until the President replaces the committee with loyalists that rubber stamp each request.
