Via Matt Yglesias, Jim Henley offers a solution to the problem of presidential pardons:
Amend the President’s pardon and commutation power to exclude executive-branch employees convicted of crimes carried out in the course of their professional duties. Vest the power to pardon those people in the Congress, maybe by a super-majority of the Senate - a kind of inverse impeachment.
If there's a good argument against this, I'd love to hear. it.
