The president of the United States may not pardon criminal offenses between the first day of October of a presidential election year and the end of his term in office.

I can get onboard with that.

jbp: why?

 

[johnbryanpeters]

The well established history of outgoing presidents of both parties pardoning their own henchmen after the election and before the inauguration.

October would give the voters some time to digest and react to any "exit pardons". Couldn't do anything about the lame duck, but could inform decisions on choosing their replacement.

injecting reason & integrity into politics? good luck w/ that.

Perhaps he could "pre-pardon" hisself or any of his contemporatriots... Should any of them be accusamidated in the future

How about for each pardon he gets a year in prison for himself or his VP? Federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison.

Sad thing is, he can "pre-pardon" his good 'ol boys...

Scooter is a lock...as is Ted Stevens.
