Dear Representative,
I am writing to express my concern regarding claims that President Trump could overturn pardons granted by President Biden. The power to issue pardons is outlined in the U.S. Constitution, granting the executive branch exclusive authority over this matter. The Supreme Court's ruling in United States v. Klein (1871) confirmed that Congress cannot interfere with presidential pardons, supporting the integrity of this power.
Historical examples, such as President Ford's pardon of Nixon and Clinton's pardons, demonstrate that pardons are valid and irreversible, even amid public backlash. Allowing a successor to invalidate a predecessor's pardons threatens the separation of powers and executive autonomy.
I urge you to uphold the sanctity of presidential pardons and prevent any attempts to unlawfully challenge those granted by President Biden or future presidents. The integrity of our government relies on respecting the rule of law and the finality of these decisions.
Sincerely,
A concerned citizen
