The President Cannot Pardon Himself

[Hobby]

I used to believe that every citizen in the US has the right to be pardoned including the president.  Upon further study the sitting president as president has unlimited immunity unless the president is impeached and removed from office. The president being removed from office would lose all the powers of the presidentency and immuunity as if he resigned or his term ended. Since the president cant be prosecuted for crime while in office there is nothing to pardon.  Only a succeeding sitting presi dent can pardon a former president should the prvious president committed a crime wasnt impeached term had ended or president resigned.  Trumps claim he can pardon himself is wrong...

It would make no sense at all, but with the current Supreme Court, all bets are off.

I know. The Supreme Court is deciding on Trumps claim he immunity when he dosent.  Be like a supreme court judge committing a crime and appearing before himself for judgement. There is no where in the constitution that talks about immunity.  Founders made it possible to remove and srip presidential powers only not criminal liabilty.  Trump should have been removed on his second impeachment.

Trump should have been removed on his second impeachment.

Seven Republicans crossed party lines to find former President Donald Trump guilty of inciting the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol.  Senators:  Richard Burr (North Carolina), Bill Cassidy (Louisiana), Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Mitt Romney (Utah), Ben Sasse (Nebraska) and Pat Toomey (Pennsylvania).

Mitch McConnell should have gone with the let everyone in his caucus to vote their conscience. they might have gotten the needed votes. However, he went with not eligible for impeachment.
