At the Constitutional Convention, that famous progressive shin-dig of 200+ years ago, Virginia delegate George Mason, who is generally considered by history to be a righteous dude because he is "The Father of the Bill of Rights," threw up a bit of a fuss about the proposed power of the President of the USA to grant pardons at will. What if the President pardons people in his own posse who might have run afoul of the law by covering up crimes committed by him (said President) and his administration? That's not, like, in the interest of democracy, is it?

No worries, replied James Madison. Congress can impeach the president if he tries to pull that kind of shite.
