Constitution

THE PRESIDENT HAS THE RIGHT TO PARDON ANYONE AT ANY TIME. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO TELL A FRIEND TO WALK INTO A BANK WITH YOU. BUT, IF YOU WALK IN SO THAT YOU TWO CAN ROB THE BANK, YOU DID SO WITH CORRUPT INTENT. WHAT IS CORRUPT INTENT? THIS TERM APPLIES TO DOING SOMETHING WITH THE FULL KNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS ILLEGAL. GRANTING A PARDON TO SOMEONE TO KEEP THEM FROM REVEALING EMBARRASSING OR INCRIMINATING INFORMATION ABOUT YOU WOULD MEET THE STANDARD TO BE CORRUPT INTENT. IT COULD MAKE A LEGAL PARDON AN OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE. THAT COULD SPUR IMEACHMENT. THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS IN THE DETAILS.
