The Power of the Presidential Pardon
 |
With all the talk of collusion and some whispers of impeachment in Washington DC, it is possible that the President could be facing some huge legal hurdles in the future. We all know the President has the power to pardon, but how far does that power go? Does he have the power to pardon family members, or even himself? Professor Birdsong explores the possibilities, as he explains the Presidential pardon in great detail.
The Power to PardonProfessor Birdsong tells us what the Constitution says about pardon, and talks about how some past Presidents haev used this power. He will then examine if it is possible for President Trump to use the privilege on himself or members of his family. We'll also have our weekly batch of dumb criminal stories. |

The Other Side of the ArgumentWhile Professor Birdsong does not believe President Trump has the power to pardon himself, we'll hear from a legal expert who does think the President has this power. Whether he intends to use it is another story. |
