Jeffrey and Jason discuss the power to pardon wheedled by the President of the United States of America. we came to some interesting conclusions and raised a quality argument. We discussed and dispelled some of the arguments being put forward by more educated scholars, and at-leas, we hope. broke it down in a way thats understandable to most everyone. As a Libertarian, and an Independent neither Jeffrey or i have a dog in the fight. Our thoughts and perspectives come from the letter of the law. The average Americans interpretations, and good all common sense. I think it was a great conversation. Not one being had by the pendants, or the radicals left and right. We're the people right?
If you found this conversation interesting i would like to share the show note with you. Below is the language from within the constitution, and please check out our Live streams every Thursday morning. 10 AM EST - 7 AM PCT

Presidential Pardon powers:
A federal pardon in the United States is the action of the President of the United States that completely sets aside the punishment for a federal crime. The authority to take such action is granted to the president by Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution. A pardon is one form of the clemency power of the president, the others being commutation of sentence, remission of fine or restitution, and reprieve.
Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices,
“and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment
