The Presidential Pardon

No one expected Trump to leave office before pardoning all his allies and mega-donor felons, so what he’s doing right now is anything but a surprise.

Clearly, we need a constitutional amendment to prevent this massive level of corruption from recurring, but what should it state?  That pardons must be approved by a majority of members of the Senate?  No, that wouldn’t have helped here, since the spineless, chickensh** Republicans would have been scared to death to override the president.

A suggestion: Whenever the president recommends a pardon for someone, it needs to be approved by the majority of the entire electorate in the following general election.  How many Americans would vote to confirm the pardon of the fellow, now a free man, who was sentenced to 20 years for orchestrating the largest fraud in human history, bilking $1.3 billion from Medicare?  15? How about the four mass murders who massacred 14 in Iraq, under the aegis of Blackwater, one of whom was doing a life sentence? 11?
