I would say set up some kind of bipartisan committee to review potential pardons before approval but then you would just have dems and repubs stuffing any pardons from presidents from the other side of the aisle

the idea behind pardons is that they exist to provide a counterbalance to the shortcomings of the judiciary I don't mind the idea of there being some means to overrule the judicial branch when they do something questionable, but if it's going to be left entirely to the unchecked, capricious whims of a single person, it'd probably be better to just use a random number generator. --- This is my signature.

Tbh, I think pardoning should be done by a specific group of people assigned solely to that purpose who don't have a party affiliation- none of this governor/president shit- and I do not think that members of the Supreme Court, House, Senate, or the president/vice president should be eligible for pardons.
