Advance Praise
“In Pardon Power, Kim Wehle debunks the orthodoxy that the President’s pardon power has no limits and argues persuasively that its use for corruption has no place in our system of laws. A must-read for those who care about the fate of American democracy.” —Charlie Sykes, MSNBC contributor/columnist and author of How the Right Lost Its Mind
“In sharp, accessible prose, Kim Wehle traces the President’s pardon power from its historical origins to its looming implications for democracy today. This book is a vital contribution in a critical time where we must look to strengthen the guardrails against corruption.” —Mimi Rocah, former federal prosecutor and Division Chief, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of New York
