"This amendment creates a narrow, commonsense check to ensure the pardon power is used fairly and responsibly regardless of who occupies the White House"
The pardon power is sort of odd to begin with. It gives not just the executive branch, but a single executive the power to completely override the judicial branch. I do feel there should be a committee or set of guidelines in place, regardless of who holds office.
