If the Dems start impeachment hearings will * still be allowed to issue pardons?

[mod mom]

We know blanketed pardons are on the neocons minds, but wouldn't it be nice if we could circumvent the pardons from happening? Would impeachment proceeding put a stop to those pardons? Anyone know?

6. Yeah, but if he pardons Cheney

Then steps down, Cheney can pardon him... wait, hasn't that movie been made before?

3. He'd still be President until he was convicted--and no chance he'd be convicted.

5. I think he'll issue blanket pardons and when he is impeached

he'll throw everyone under the bus but it won't matter because they'll all have been pardoned already.
