Re: Bush Trying To Pardon Himself
Well I'm no lawyer or expert on congressional law, but one thing I have heard lately that I'm very impressed about is a couple of laws that President Clinton secreted into law that make any actions taken by special order and possibly lame duck congresses during the period before an election until the inaguration of the new president easily reversible. Anything passed after May 15th of the year in which the election is held for Presidential office falls under this category to prevent just this sort of action, so who knows.
I'm hoping all these roadblocks being thrown up by the Bush administration will be able to be reversed once Obama takes office. He certainly has a sharp legal team digging into the laws and powers of the president.
