It’s completely wild that this is acceptable in a modern democracy. One unqualified person is allowed to summarily over rule the entire judicial apparatus on a whim or bailing out a crony. American presidents are the kings of this banana republic.
This is an actual good example why it was put in though. You literally have people looking to disrupt the current office holder of the president getting people to lie in order to disrupt the function of the office. Its why it was a specific power given in the constitution.
unfortunately its a fact of society. Individuals can enrich themselves by cheating but it requires that most don’t and if to many do cheat you reach a tipping point where it falls apart. Like certain 3rd world capitalist utopias were everything is for sale.

By ‘disrupt the current office holder’ do you mean ‘the people who have been pardoned were tried and convicted of crimes’?
no I mean getting a person to lie to tie them to something that did not happen.
If that is true, you don’t have a criminal justice system any more. That’s what I was originally arguing, this is a banana republic.
