Only if everyone else can pardon themselves aswell.
The president is the highest office of service to the people. He serves me and you and every other citizen of this country, not the other way around. Lately we've all been pretending that we should be loyal to and serve the president, as if we were his representatives. This is not so. Black is not white, up is not down, and the world has not become the inverse of it's natural state. The presidential office is that of a public servant, and as such those presidents who are found not to be serving their citizens should not have the power to excuse themselves from justice. No man should have the power to excuse themselves or anyone else from justice.
Escape from justice is injustice, and I think we can all agree that injustice should not be allowed (is that a double negative?).
