We Gotta Talk Presidential Pardons

Presidential pardons: What are they? Why do they exist? Where does the power come from? Can they be overridden?

Lucky for us, founding father’s expert

Lindsay M. Chervinsky

answers all of those questions for us in the time it takes to unload the dishwasher (shoot, I still need to unload the dishwasher).

Civics yourselves, people!

And make sure you subscribe to Lindsay’s

Imperfect Union

. It, like her, is brilliant.
