The purpose of this petition is to voice the urgency to define specific pardon authority as well as limitations via means of amending the U.S. Constitution. This petition will be forwarded to the current Speaker of the House of Representatives via certified mail when completed. If you believe that the presidential pardon powers needs a more specific definition, to stop abuses of the pardon power, and to restrict pardons to White House Administration and/or personal pardons, then please sign this petition and pass it along.



Thank you

We must never allow the president to use the pardon power to free his friends convicted of political crimes. It is intended to correct injustices - not to reward henchman willing to break any laws

The constitution was never meant to be a get out of jail free card for buddies. Time to close this loophole before it ruins the whole system.

No president should be able to pardon himself or any of his accomplices.
