Dems renew push for limiting presidential clemency powers after Hunter Biden pardon
Fox News
Calls to limit presidential pardon powers have fallen on party lines in the House of Representatives.
"The pardon power is supposed to be a safety valve against injustice, and I understand why President Biden thought it appropriate in this instance," Cohen said earlier this week. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital leading coverage of the House of Representatives. Previous digital bylines seen at Daily Mail and CBS News.
"But to all those who find this pardon distasteful, I encourage you to cosponsor and support the constitutional amendment I have introduced in the last several Congresses to reform the pardon power. The measure would eliminate pardons for the President’s self, the President’s family, Administration officials and campaign staff, and those who commit crimes on behalf of, for the benefit of, or at the direction of the President – all instances with inescapable perceptions of conflicts of interest."
