Cruz on Trump's ability to pardon himself: "..................................."

[GMantis]

The biased panel on CNN slept through the 1970s.

This issue was discussed back then, during Watergate.  There was significant support for the idea that if Nixon pardoned himself, it would stand.  There would be a massive outcry, and (perhaps) a move to amend the Constitution on that score, but the pardon itself would stand.

Not really. Nixon was advised that he couldn't pardon himself.
