He surrendered to police in downtown Richmond. Keep in mind this guy wasn't enlisted but an officer (Lt.) with 11 years of service. Says he was lit up like a Christmas tree.
If he's an illegitimate president then he has no presidential power. The pardon would be illegitimate. That's why they needed Hillary. Pardon herself and Hussein.
That's a good question. It's not a subject that's been studied. At all. But I'd go with void ab initio. Void from inception. Statutory law that's declared so unconstitutional that it's void ab initio is treated as though it never existed. I'd expect something like an executive action to be treated the same way but…that isn't something commonly (ever) discussed in law school or practice.
All that is required for a pardon to be legitimate is the crime itself. Known and unknown. On the other hand, if Obama is illegitimate, then it doesn't make shit bit of a difference. All of his pardons would be considered illegal as he was an illegitimate president.
One of the elements of a pardon is that accepting it is the equivalent of admission of guilt. So even pardoning oneself would be an admission of guilt because why issue the pardon without accepting it?
That's what I was thinking. "How do I get the American people to talk about illegal acts by a President?"
