Don Bacon Joins Bipartisan Push to Curb Presidential Pardon Power Following Trump's Clemency

Don Bacon became the first Republican to co-sponsor a constitutional amendment that would allow Congress to nullify presidential pardons following extensive clemency grants by Donald Trump.The proposed Pardon Integrity Act requires a two-thirds majority in both chambers of Congress within 60 days to block a pardon initiated by a small group of lawmakers.Although the measure now has bipartisan support, the amendment faces a difficult path as it requires ratification by 38 states after passing through the House and Senate.
