No charges needed, Nixon was pardoned without any.
The sauce is literally the constitution.
Nothing new.
Burdick did not find it implies guilt, they agreed it can imply guilt.
I was correct.
Even the USSC can not and does not have the authority to violate the constitution.
Impeachment has nothing to do with a pardon of criminal charges.
Impeachment is for removal from office.
You need to learn how impeachments work.
No you didn't.
No that's not how that works. The in cases of impeachment clause means he can't pardon someone being impeached to stop it or cancel them being removed from office. Basically the president doesn't have the authority to pardon in cases of impeachment to overrule the person impeached being removed from office. If someone is impeached and removed from officer, the president can still pardon them of criminal charges.
Not if the next potus pardons him. The pardon has literally NOTHING to do with impeachment, it just can't be used against an impeachment.
Can that testimony be used in future state charges?
I know the law and the nonsense some are spreading. Someone impeached can still be pardoned of criminal charges, the pardon just doesn't work against an impeachment (removal from office).
He's been pardoned from FEDERAL charges, he can still be charged with state charges for crimes.
Nonsense. That's not what the constitution says. The president can pardon all offenses against the United States, except impeachment (removal from office).
All federal crimes.
No, the president can only pardon federal crimes, not state crimes. Any testimony that can lead to state charges is covered by the 5th still.
Nope. Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. And in that case, the criminal charges can still be pardoned, the impeachment charges can not.
You really need to educate yourself on the presidential power to pardon.
I'm absolutely positive it can.
No. The impeachment has nothing to do with pardon of criminal charges. The purpose of impeachment has nothing to do with punishment, simply removal of and possible ban from holding office. If you are impeached and convicted by the senate, the president can not pardon you of that and keep you in office.
Even when a person has been impeached, criminal charges can still be pardoned.
No, but the president does have that power. The president can't keep them in office if impeached and he can't pardon state crimes. That's the law.
