    The United States has a huge problem with presidential pardon power. Anyone serious about accountability needs to advocate for getting rid of it.

      It’s not even just the pardons really, it’s the fact that so much of government runs on vibestm and the belief that elected officials will always act in good faith. So the pardons need to be reformed but a lot more things do as well. Like the fact it’s literally impossible to do a constitutional amendment now.
