Constitutional Limitations on Presidential Pardons

1. Can he pardon himself?

Still would be impeached, but not in jeopardy under the legal system?

My High School Civics teacher thought the Ford pardon was garbage, and I tend to agree with him. A pardon should only apply after a conviction. It is a signaling mechanism though. Ford stating that whatever Nixon was convicted of, I will pardon him.

Because of the Ford-Nixon precedent, Trump can still do self-dealing preemptive pardons with everyone below him. I would not be surprised if he does this if he is going out the door. Heck he might do it with everyone associated with him to just muddy the waters of any further investigation.

How concerned is he with what history will make of him. It would be the bold maverick like thinking his MAGA supporters love.
