“Since his acquittal on two articles of impeachment by a Republican-controlled Senate, President Donald Trump has plainly realized that there are no meaningful checks on his actions anymore.” writes Kim Wehle, constitutional expert, on The Bulwark. Seeing that Trump has started to pardon a whole crowd of people, she explains how he has normalized the use of pardons as a political tool.
Kim Wehle will be speaking at the John Adams on March 3rd. She is the author of How to read the Constitution – and Why and is therefore the ideal person to explain what is going on with Trump – post acquittal.
