This proposal, to limit the presidential pardon power, doesn’t go nearly far enough.
The power of a President to issue pardons should be completely eliminated. It’s a power that derives from those of a monarch, and has no place in a republic.

Charlie Kirk in 2023: "It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment."
He was wrong. No child, no moviegoer and no conservative commentator should have to die to maintain this perverted notion of the 2nd Amendment.

Charles Kushner is going to be Trump's ambassador to France so I can't get upset about President Biden pardoning his son, who was charged with conduct that typically isn't charged by fed'l prosecutors.
