You are the one being obtuse. Ford's action discards your contention that a person needs to be first charged with something to receive a pardon.

Ford's action is something I do not agree with by the way. But he did it anyway.

The Constitution also says you need to be a naturalized citizen to be president (with both parents as citizens as well). But we got Barack Obama anyhow, when it is pretty obvious to me he did not meet the requirements. Or we would not have all this secrecy surrounding his early life. If it were otherwise, the Democrats would have tripped over themselves to provide the documentation that would made those questioning it look stupid (including Trump himself).

“You are the one being obtuse”

Let me give you a little info. When you try to insult someone that you have garnered no respect from, your insult just rolls right into the sewer where insult fails go.

Now, back to the discussion.............if these aren’t charges what do you call them?

“Under the Constitution’s Article I, Sections 2 and 3, and Article II, Section 4, President Richard M. Nixon might well have been convicted at an impeachment trial for “high crimes and misdemeanors,” and, indeed, the very real threat of just such a verdict in the Senate probably led him to resign in August 1974. But the Constitution still would have allowed a federal grand jury to go forward and levy criminal charges against him.

President Ford’s pardon ended that prospect.”

I totally agree with you about Obama and his eligibility to be POTUS. I hope the corruption gets cleared out and the truth about it finally gets to come out.
