Men ingen gir oss svaret?
Det er vel fordi det står i grunnloven (uten at de kanskje så for seg dagens bruk), og supreme court har bestemt at det skal tolkes på den måten det tolkes i dag.
Sitat:
The Supreme Court has made clear that, subject to the exception for impeachment, the president’s power to grant pardons is “unlimited,” with virtually no oversight or limiting role for Congress. In Ex parte Garland, which involved President Andrew Johnson’s pardon of a lawyer who had served in the legislature of the Confederacy, the court indicated that the president’s pardon power covers all federal offenses. The president can issue a pardon at any point after a crime is committed and before, during or after criminal proceedings have taken place. The president cannot, however, pardon someone for future crimes. A pardon covers both the offender’s conviction for the crime and the sentence for that crime.
Trump har vel brukt denne retten sjeldnere enn mange andre, men forskjellen er at han har benådet alle vennene sine.  Men det er mange andre presidenter som har kontroversielle benådinger også, for eksempel Clinton. |
