Trump kan inte benåda sig själv. Det har fastställts sedan länge.
Jag vet inte vad din länk säger. Horderna av AdBot-requests jag individuellt måste säga nej till för att få läsa deras artiklar, är så långa att jag tröttnar efter en halvtimme och lämnar sidan rakt av.
Lust att bjuda på ett citat eller två från din länk?
Det har aldrig "fastställts" i och med att det aldrog hänt för och således aldrig prövats rättsligt. Det reglerar inte heller i vare sig lag eller förordning eller tidigare rättsfall heller.
Men sure, känner mig generös just för stunden, så jag bjuder på ett par stycken.
Citat:
The discussions occurred in recent weeks, and it was not clear whether he has brought it up since he incited supporters to march on the Capitol, where some stormed the site.
Citat:
President Trump has suggested to aides he wants to pardon himself in the final days of his presidency, according to two people with knowledge of the discussions, a move that would mark one of the most extraordinary and untested uses of presidential power in American history.
Citat:
Mr. Trump has shown signs that his level of interest in pardoning himself goes beyond idle musings. He has long maintained he has the power to pardon himself, and his polling of aides’ views is typically a sign that he is preparing to follow through on his aims. He has also become increasingly convinced that his perceived enemies will use the levers of law enforcement to target him after he leaves office.
Citat:
Mr. Trump has considered a range of pre-emptive pardons for family, including his three oldest children — Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump — for Ms. Trump’s husband, the senior White House adviser Jared Kushner, and for close associates like the president’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani. The president has expressed concerns to advisers that a Biden Justice Department might investigate all of them.
Citat:
Beyond that, the extent of Mr. Trump’s criminal exposure is unclear. The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, outlined 10 instances in which Mr. Trump may have obstructed justice but declined to say whether he broke the law, citing legal and factual constraints of prosecuting a sitting president.
Citat:
A self-pardon would align with Mr. Trump’s unprecedented use of the pardon power. The framers of the Constitution gave the president almost total authority to grant clemency for federal crimes, positioning the head of the executive branch as a check on the judicial branch and as someone who could dip into the justice system to show grace and mercy on the downtrodden.
