Could The President pardon himself if he committed a crime?
Ok, what about the power of clemency- can that be considered a self pardon?
Clemency is a broader term that includes pardoning, but also includes other acts of leniency, such as commuting a sentence or granting a reprieve. While some have argued that a President’s power to grant clemency can include the power to pardon oneself, the issue remains unresolved.
