Republican Backs Push to Limit Trump’s Pardon Power

“A proposed constitutional amendment that would give Congress the power to block presidential pardons gained its first House Republican cosponsor on Monday,” Axios reports.

“It’s a stark display of GOP defiance against President Trump, whose pardons have been the subject of bipartisan backlash in several cases.”

“Rep. Johnny Olszewski (D-MD), who is leading the amendment, announced Monday that Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) has signed on as the first Republican co-sponsor of the Pardon Integrity Act.”
