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.

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