Alexander Vindman Thinks NOW Is the Time to Curtail Presidents’ Pardon Powers – Twitchy

It’s funny that this is the first time we’ve heard any concern from Alexander Vindman about presidential pardons. He seems to think we’re getting close to the time when we need to seriously curtail President Donald Trump’s (and any future president, he added to sound nonpartisan) pardon powers. Vindman is thinking of a constitutional amendment that would require the Senate to approve of presidential pardons.

We are rapidly approaching the need to curtail @realDonaldTrump‘s (and future president’s) pardon/amnesty powers. A constitutional amendment that requires Senate consent would make a great deal of sense.

It would be a lot easier to take him seriously if he’d spoken up during the Biden administration.

Pardoning is an executive check on the judicial branch. Why involve the legislative? And why the Senate?

Alex here doesn’t really get how America works.

Such an amendment isn’t getting passed.

— NotJohn (@SpaceNotJohn) November 30, 2025

Nope. And Trump can’t just declare things to be amendments, like Joe Biden thought he could.

Oh, so Trump is the problem after Biden’s unprecidented auto-pen pardons?

Get bent, Bozo.

LOL. That’s hilarious coming from a proud supporter of the autopen administration

Or at least the president’s actual signature and awareness.

This is laughable

Fuck you, Alex.
Your only problem with the Biden pardons was that they didn’t include you. pic.twitter.com/mtV65zCogF

How many pardons did “Biden” (read as: autopen) issue in the last month of his time in office?

— Rabite (@rabitedensetsu) November 30, 2025

Funny how you just thought of that.

We will cut him off when he reaches the numbers from Brandon.
Thanks for your concern, traitor.

You mean like Biden pardoning his entire family.

Didn’t Biden invent the idea of the “preemptive pardon” in the first place? Those should be curtailed.

We are rapidly approaching the need to imprison treasonous actors, deep staters and traitors against a sitting and former President.

That we can agree on.
