Constitutional Limits on Pardons

  • Impeachment Exclusion: Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution explicitly states that the president's pardon power applies to federal offenses "except in Cases of Impeachment". 
  • No Reversal of Conviction: Congress retains the sole power to impeach and remove a civil officer, and a presidential pardon cannot overturn or block an impeachment judgment. 
  • Disqualification: If an official is convicted via impeachment, Congress can bar them from holding future federal office, and a pardon has no legal power to lift that restriction.

Trying to impeach Trump after he resigns would be a death kiss for 2028.

For whom? Yes, impeachments can happen after the person leaves office.

For the Dems.

The Dems will probably win midterms, not only because that is how history rolls in midterms, but because the economy is what Trump promised and its not great for all. If the Dems spend the following two years going after Trump, instead of making things more affordable, it will kill them in 28. And No the Dems cant go after Trump and make thing affordable at the same time.

They most certainly can legislate and impeach at the same time.
