    Still time to delete that erroneous comment should you so choose. Be advised, now that there are replies, that it will show as "[deleted]".

  Nobody's ever challenged Ford's pardon of Nixon. It's actually real unclear what the legality of it would be if a subsequent President had tried to arrest him.

    What makes you say it's unclear? It's considered settled, even though the Supreme Court has never had to rule on it.
    • dragonwriter 6y ago
      The Supreme Court has previously found excuses to dodge the question of the validity of pre-charge pardons, it is very much an open issue.

    It's been surmised that "resign and get pardoned" may happen again in our lifetimes.
