Trump is considering mass pardons for his enablers. I have some ideas about how they could be undone. Liz Oyer

I also do not see why Congress cannot enacts statutes setting general standards for pardons, e.g., no blanket pardons nor pardons granted at all unless and until the party has been convicted of a crime; no pardons for appointees or contributors of the president , nor for the president or his family.

"All" legislative power is vested in Congress (Art I s 1) & it is empowered specifically:"To make all Laws which shall be necessary & proper for carrying into Execution ... all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."
