They should never have that power.

If they could pardon themselves he would have shot Jim Acosta a long time ago :P

The interesting thing about presidential pardons is that you accept guilt of the crime in order to receive it.

Actually, they cannot be prosecuted as President so this scenario is not even possible.

How can anything get done if the other party would rather play politics at cost to the taxpayers.

I'd say both parties are to blame to the gridlock in congress, not just one or the other.

Sure but that would be admitting guilt and congress can impeach on those grounds

Hitler had the power as the socialists gave it to him

The socialists gave it to him because, at first, he was working to make things better and fooled them.
