I believe you have to name the issue the pardon is for.

I don’t think you can just say, “You are hereby pardoned for anything you may have ever done in your life.”

With Hillary, the reading of a self-pardon would be a very delicious thing. We could read exactly what it is she thinks she needed to be pardoned for.

LOL, that would be a hoot.

Yes you can. Look at the pardon of Nixon as an example.

“Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974.”

No named crime was needed.

Her self pardon would probably list her endless crimes but blatantly say that conservatives forced her to commit them for the sake America. LOL
