⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a mechanism in the USA to undo presidential pardons years later if political corruption has been proven as motivation to give these pardons?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
No. The power of the pardon is explicitly granted to the President in the text of the Constitution, and it provides no mechanism for reversing such pardons. It’s meant to be a check against unjust laws and/or corrupt courts, and presidents who would corruptly abuse the power for their own profit are supposed to be removed from office via impeachment—but as we’ve seen, Congress won’t even remove a president who orchestrates a mob attack against themselves as part of a scheme to overthrow an election.
