Should U.S. Strip Presidents of Pardon Power?

The article from Newsweek discusses the debate over whether the U.S. President's pardon power should be limited or reformed. It highlights concerns raised by recent presidential pardons, particularly those by former President Donald Trump, which some view as controversial or potentially corrupt. Critics argue that the pardon power, as outlined in the Constitution, gives the president too much unchecked authority, potentially allowing for abuse or favoritism. Suggestions for reform include requiring Congressional approval for pardons, imposing judicial review, or setting clearer legal guidelines on what constitutes an acceptable pardon. Proponents of maintaining the current system argue that the pardon power is an essential check and balance, allowing for acts of mercy and correction of judicial errors. The article also touches on historical uses of the pardon power, illustrating its broad application from the Founding Fathers to modern times, and how it has been both praised for its humanitarian aspects and criticized for its potential for misuse.
