During the deliberations over whether to ratify the US constitution in 1788, George Mason, the Virginian politician and scholar, warned against one particular inclusion: the right of a president to pardon people. He may frequently pardon crimes which were advised by himself, Mason said. It may happen, at some future day, that he will establish a monarchy, and destroy the republic.
Donald Trump this week once more tested the boundaries of what voters will tolerate when it comes to presidential clemency, issuing pardons to 15 people on Tuesday and a further 26 on Wednesday.

Minutes after he took the oath of office as the 45th President of the United States at the US Capitol on January 20, 2017, Donald Trump expressed gratitude to the outgoing President and first lady.
“Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power,” Trump said, “and we are grateful to President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent.”
But ever since Trump’s defeat at the hands of Joe Biden last month, the President has been anything but magnificent. He has done all he can to prevent an “orderly and peaceful” transfer to the next administration.
