I know most of that, but I also note that in reviewing the history that none of those pardoned had their pardons revoked, nor was the president subjected to any form of consequence.

Clinton even pardoned his half-brother Roger for cocaine trafficking, who later was arrested twice on drunk driving charges. He even pardoned FALN, that even Hillary objected to. The Senate voted 95-2 to oppose the clemency and the House voted 311-41. But because the presidential pardon power is absolute, the votes could not reverse the action.

So, now explain why that article bolster's your case, because I see it bolstering my case to be honest.

I'm not trying to be a smart-@ss. I'm trying to understand what consequences Biden faces when he pardons his son Hunter after the election has been decided, or if he decides to drop-out/is pushed-out before the election is completed.

I may be missing something, which is why I ask. I have made mistakes before and have made statements that needed further explanation as to why I made the statement I had made while ignoring previous history that I had omitted. It's called a learning process, and I try to continue to learn even at my older age.
