I think we figured out already the President can't pardon himself.
Actually he can. The question will be if the pardon will be held up by the Supreme Court? Once again it is good "we" figured it out, but I think I will wait for the Supreme Court to determine if such a pardon will be valid, but some other "we" think otherwise:
Mark Tushnet, law professor, Harvard University
The president's constitutional power to pardon "offenses against the United States" is limited only by excluding "cases of Impeachment." A self-pardon for ordinary criminal offenses does not fall within that exception, on my understanding.
Jessica Levinson, law professor, Loyola Law School
As is the case with a number of important constitutional issues, the answer to the question here of whether or not the president can pardon himself exists in gray area. Or put more bluntly, the answer is, "Who the heck knows?" This is partly because this is simply not a question we ask ourselves very often.
Susan Low Bloch, law professor, Georgetown University
I believe the president can pardon anyone, including him or herself. But the pardon cannot stop an investigation and, in a well-functioning democracy, should provoke an impeachment. The Constitution specifically provides that the pardon power does not prevent — or undo — an impeachment. I'm not sure if these Republicans would impeach, but I think that is the only check on the president.
I do not agree with these opinions, but I guess "we" as determined by Dreams this issue is as simple as the concept of doubt beyond a reasonable doubt. My prediction is the Supreme Court will rule a self pardon constitutionally invalid, but I recognize there is no consensus on the same, and certainly the "we" who think there is should tell the Supreme Court that "we" have solved the issue.
