| Topic | Trumps power to pardon people has been suspended due to impeachment |

The argument for this would be that it would be unreasonable for the president to be able to overturn both the house and the senate and an analogy would be the presidential veto power being able to be trumped (no pun intended) by the house and senate. There's an argument to be made that if the president can pardon people while being impeached himself then impeachment is a useless tool for removing the president since he can order people to destroy the evidence against him and then pardon them. Or more succinctly should a potential criminal be allowed to determine what other criminals go free? --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv ...
