The first thing the next POTUS should do is issue an executive order rescinding every Trump pardon and arrest all of them again. Then that POTUS should work with Congress to end federal pardons altogether. The power should not exist.

None of those things are at all constitutional. Although I guess you could say that Congress could start the ball rolling on getting a constitutional amendment ending Federal pardons. Good luck.

In case you haven't noticed, the constutution doesnt functionally exist any longer. We live in the world of the unitary executive now and that has been completely recognized by SCOTUS who refuses to reign it in.

Sure. Let me know how that one goes. Do you have any other suggestions for when the next president gets into office?
