Oh no it’s the Schiff-hole again
Not a problem.
All he has to do is hold an Article 15 convention, get 38 states to agree with him, and presto...Bob Mueller outranks the President.
Should be no problem.
Article II Section 2 "The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
Liberal Judge's tortured and convoluted interpretation of this direct and clear language: "The founders, in recognizing that pardons could not apply to impeachment, implicitly are acknowledging the supremacy of congress in the pardon function. Therefore in cases where congress places specific guidance on how the President shall exercise the pardon power, it is merely a manifestation of the power placed in congress to prevent pardons in the case of impeachment. Thus limitations can be made by congress on pardons."
Yea, good luck getting Trump to sign it and good luck getting 2/3 from the Senate for a veto override.
You can’t “trump” the US Constitution with a piece of legislation.
Sorry, “..is hold an Article 5 convention”
Gotta do better checking instead of relying on memory
Judges have interpreted constitutionality so, I can see a judge actually deciding on this much more readily than applying this power to the legislature.
He knows that; as well as, the liberal media. It is just another talking point they can bash Trump with.
Never see the light of day...
Time to release some Schiff pedo background
That will go about as far as a wagon with square wheels.
Yup!
“”SOL (Schiff Outta Luck).””
I like that...
You cannot legislate away the constitution.
Can only change pardon ability with an amendment.
The Congress does not have the power to take away what the Constitution grants. It’s the Constitution that empowers POTUS to grant clemency and pardons.
