Will Pence pardon Trump or will Pence refuse to become another Gerald Ford?
The Vice President is not vested with that power.
Trump will pardon Trump.
Only time will tell. And a lot has to happen before that may come to pass… Or it may never.
Pardon Trump of what?
For What, Did Biden Pardon Obama for his crimes?
This assumes the hypothetical premise that Trump will be convicted or impeached, neither of which has taken place.
- If Trump and Pence both resign could President Pelosi appoint Hillary to the vice-presidency with Senate approval? Keep in mind President Nixon appointed Gerald Ford to the vice-presidency. Later President Ford appointed Nelson Rockefeller to the vice-presidency!
- How long before Trump gives Christy Ford a full and free pardon? She was badly used by the Democrats - - as a victim who's been victimized again, she deserves a chance to walk away from the whole episode
- How did Ford pardon Nixon when the US Constitution says presidents can't pardon for impeachment? "The President… Shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment." There's only one exception to pardons: impeachment. There's no exception that says "and also if the impeachment was not yours". So it's a fragrant violation of the US Constitution.
