Trump Is Already Discussing Preemptive Pardons

Of course.

Yet despite the increasingly atrocious and corrupt way the pardons have been dispensed by Trump (and Clinton, Biden et al), I see absolutely no suggestions to rectify the mistake by Founding Fathers of granting unconditional King's power and push for starting the Constitutional Amendment process to remove that power from the single person, which I believe would easily catch (fire emoji).

Pardons could still be granted, where deserved, by an unanimous consent (or very high percentage of votes) by selected committee of multi-party participants, but it would be substantially removed as a corrupt political tool.

I guess both parties are expressing faux outrage while hypocritically waiting for "their" King to grant pardons to "deserving" people or, as more and more likely, to whole groups of people. So neither party has real interest in changing "the system."

"Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. ... still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority. There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it." - Lord Acton

"BOTH SIDES!"
