Part 4/7:
Presidential Precedents and Self-Pardons
An interesting dimension of the pardon discussion revolves around whether President Biden might consider issuing a self-pardon. Dtz explains that while the Constitution does not explicitly preclude a president from pardoning himself, the practicality and political ramifications of such a decision are highly complex.
Dtz believes Biden will likely refrain from self-pardoning, especially after the backlash related to Hunter’s complete pardon. Additionally, Dtz doubts any further pardons for other family members, indicating that the political repercussions of pardoning Hunter may limit Biden's willingness to issue family-related pardons in the future.
