    No, and there are even some Prez pardons that are very questionable.

    Republicans use pardons as a means to cover up their crimes. Iran Contra is a prime example. I believe there should be strict guidelines for granting a pardon and they should be revokable if it is used to usurp justice or hide other crimes.
