After President Donald Trump commuted the sentence of former adviser Roger Stone, Democrats went apoplectic.On Saturday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said she would support a bill that would limit a president’s pardoning abilities. Stone had been sentenced to three years in prison for witness tampering and lying to Congress. He was also arrested in an infamous early morning bust with multiple armed police raiding the 67-year-old’s home as CNN filmed.After commuting Stone’s sentence, the White House released a statement calling the former adviser “a victim of the Russia Hoax.”

Make it retroactive for Mark Rich, Susan Rosenberg, Roger Clinton, and the Puerto Rico terrorists.

Always the genius at work. Do you think trump will veto this idiotic bill? Do you think it will make it off of Mitch's desk in the first place? This is for media spin and publicity so go ahead and shoot your BB gun at Battleship Trump and see if you can sink it.

Won't be valid, and won't pass the Senate, and will be vetoed, even if it somehow did.
As usual, Pelosi playing stupid kindergarten games.

The President has the power to grant pardons and reprieves. Art. 2, section2 of the Constitution.

Not before she overturns the US Constitution ( not that she wouldn't like to). Of all the rights and authority the Constitution gives the Chief Executive this one is the most absolute. Out of reach of other branches.

I think they would have to amend the constitution:
Section 2
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

This bill, like everything the House does under her total lack of leadership, is just a massive waste of time and tax dollars since it will never pass the Senate (and certainly would never survive a presidential veto)!!!!
It will never become law, but I guess it's worth the money (since it's not her money) to appease her braindead base!!!!!

What part of this constitutional excerpt does Nancy the feebleminded not understand? Precisely why she should be put out to pasture

"Legislation is needed to ensure that no president can pardon or commute the sentence of an individual who is engaged in a cover-up campaign to shield that President from criminal prosecution,”
In PRINCIPLE, I don't disagree with this. However, that's NOT what the democrats are going for. What they are going for is to further hamstring this or any future republican president. More investigations and more threats of impeachment.
What I would much rather see is reigning in the Federal Governments investigative and prosecutorial powers with serious, non-biased, non-political oversight, with real penalties against any of the above who abuse their positions.

Tell you what, Witch Pelosi; just park your broom over in the corner until YOU are elected president. Then you can do all that crappy stuff you make up with your midnight ice cream treats.

Every new law promulgated by the Democrats is designed to hamstring republicans and is not intended to be enforced against any democrat ever. This is what corruption looks like. This is tyranny. Congress is broken. The democrats existence there has broken it and their infestation of the bureaucracy with hyper partisan actors has all but assured that they get away with it.

#8 & #10 are right. Senile nancy can be forgiven for not knowing that, but most of the idiots in our government and the majority of the population don't know it either.

Pelosi apparently believes she is safe in ignoring the Constitution.
Way past time to prove her wrong come November.

To those of you who say "she can't do this because it violates the constitution".. just remember John Roberts, Gorsuch, Kananaugh, Kaga, Sotomayor, Ginsburg. Gorsuch or Kavanaugh or both would vote to uphole Nancy. If it goes that far that is.

Blackmail is a major tool in the commie tool box and Trump just took one hammer away. Flynn is another hammer that is getting away. Soon all the left will have left is some soggy stale noodles.

Easy peasy. Just get it through the House with 2/3 approval (a simple majority won't cut it). Then get it through the Senate, again with 2/3 approval. Then get the President to sign it. Then get 38 of the State Legislatures to ratify it.
Knock yourself out.

Old Botox Brain must not have read the Constitution as others have pointed out specifically Article II. OR more likely, she is banking on the total ignorance of the typical Democrat voter thinking the evil Republicans blocked her legislation in order to get out the dumb butt vote in November. Only way any of this could happen is through a Constitutional Amendment to Article II and it is more likely Mr Clean would have a thick head of hair.

Naci has Schiff for brains. Trump commuted a sentence. Naci waste time on pardons that is constitutional, ot subject to regulation (like the 2nd amendment is). Fundraising opportunity for the liberal celebrity types.

Hey Nancy! POTUS doesn't work for YOU...he works for US! Separation of powers! It's in that little document you will never read! NO, not the one by Marx! The one by the Founders of the US called the Constitution! You have no power over who, what and if a POTUS uses his power of commutation or pardon! Drives you insane doesn't it. And yet...John Roberts will be standing there with you when it arrives at the Supreme Ct. thanks to another Bushie!!! Thanks George W! You were awesome...I just threw up in my mouth a little!
