Prof. Jill Hasday Quoted in Canada’s Le Devoir Newspaper on the Presidential Pardon Power

Professor Jill Hasday was quoted in Canada’s Le Devoir newspaper. She said: “The President's pardon power, especially when combined with presidential immunity from criminal prosecution, can be destabilizing for democracy and the rule of law. Not only can the President act free from the fear of criminal prosecution, he can also guarantee that the federal government will be unable to prosecute the President's allies.”
