Hello! I was scrolling along until I saw an article about a Pardon in Texas. In the comment section people talked about how pardons are even still a thing and one User pointed out that they are totally easy to abuse. Like why can’t a governor hire a hitman to kill his political Opponents and then just pardon him? Would this be possible? Can a governor or let’s say the president just straight up do that?

Thank you all in advance!

    you’ll have Democratic politicians and appointees falling out windows.

    I mean there’s defense, and there’s defenestration.
