@wajoma saidWould that indeed be possible 😲
Trump is impeached, Pence becomes President, Pence pardons Trump and appoints him VP, Pence resigns, Trump becomes President and appoints Pence VP.
Stolen meme.
In fact I think I can remember that Trump asked some guy if he could pardon himself quite early in his tenure.

@Mott-The-Hoople Trump absolutely tweeted that he has the right to pardon himself.
Trump is a RHINO: Republican In Name Only. The impeachment is an opportunity for the GOP to reclaim their party in addition to saving the country from this lunatic who has already done untold damage, especially on the international front. The GOP used to stand for lowering our national debt, state rights and opposing Russia. Under Trump, the deficit has soared, he is trying to limit blue states' freedom of choice (California's right to set vehicle emission standards) in order to punish them for not supporting him and he has openly stated that he believes Putin over the U.S. intelligence community. Republicans like Ronny Reagan and William F. Buckley are turning over in their grave.
@phranny saidYes he did...many legal scholars agree. that in no way translates to trump asking IF he can pardon himself.

@wajoma saidNice try, but impeachment conviction and removal from office also disqualifies the convicted from holding "any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States".

@suzianne saidThe President has no power to grant pardons in cases of impeachment. US Constitution, Article II, section 2, clause 1.
Even after a Presidential pardon?
