Common sense doesn't apply. It's what the Constitution says. And how the judges interpret it.

I agree with you personally, but that's not what the document says.

His pardon powers are very wide-ranging according to the Constitution.

Few people realize how wide-ranging the pardon power is.

It’s about the only power in the Constitution with no check or balance. Obama could, quite constitutionally, on his last day in office pardon all federal prisoners. Or just the black ones.

For those who say he can’t pardon himself, there’s a way around this. Resign on his last day, after pardoning Biden for any offenses. Biden becomes president, briefly, and pardons Obama. Thoroughly constitutional, though equally thoroughly corrupt.
